Neptune DOS clicking noise

Any ideas the cause of this clicking noise? Pump is a few weeks old and used for auto water changes - 2 gallons a day. Noise just started this evening

I hear just a motor turning on mine..slight clicking.. has your always turned that fast? Mine didn't go half that speed

Mines did the same, it’s the plastics inside the heads.. they send me new ones but it’s still the same but lesser sound.. try to put grease inside the plastic moving parts.. that’s going to be by next step.

I can’t see the video, mine did the same thing until I adjusted the position of the tubing. The tubing was putting a bind on the pump. Mine no loner makes the noise.

Yeah, we have it set to only run 5 hours a day so it moves pretty quick! Since we just set up the system we wanted to make sure we were home in the evenings to babysit it a bit at first

That would make sense why it just started if the tube shifted!

could mean the motor is dying …. more likely there is a blockage in the tubing somewhere.
