  1. I cleaned impeller assembly, still rattled, so I applied the silicone grease to the metal shaft, but then had trouble with the impeller not wanting to start when I plugged it in. I finally ended up pulling the siphon tube off, bumping the impeller with a toothpick which got it started, then replaced the siphon. the pump primed and the rattle is gone. My guess is the thick grease offered enough resistance that it just couldn't get started, maybe I applied too much. Flow looks great though and the filter is silent. I'll let it run overnight, then unplug and plug back in to be sure it can start by itself. The grease trick works for impeller rattle. Oh, and the lid started vibrating after all this, so I'll have to find a rubber band.
  2. Actually I just bought it yesterday, and it was silent until this morning. I just saw some lube tricks on youtube with silicone jelly and will give that a try today.
  3. My lid is quiet but I wish there were an impeller hack that would eliminate the rattle.
