Just built an evap tower that runs on two ViaAqua 1300's. The first pump comes out of my 5gal res and pumps to the blocks (parallel gpu and cpu) then to the second pump which pushes the rest of the way to my shower head in the tower.

I have one 1300 that is quiet as a mouse, no audible noise at all and only a slight vibration to the touch. My second pump makes so much noise (a clacking/clicking) that it's louder than my five Smartfan 2's at full tilt.

I've tried this pump in both locations, same noise. I even super glued the impeller to the shaft to eliminate any play, but the glue won't hold and it breaks free.

Bought both pumps from BeCooling. Ordered a third to replace the noisy one and it's just as noisy and leaks to boot.

Any ideas on what I can do to shut this thing up and make it run quiet??

Thanks!!
