Does the new filter make a rattling noise when you shake it lightly? Is it normal?

So I have retired from reviewing (and most all else in life). I have a better excuse for being answerless: I haven't installed the unit. So sorry. Best you go to their online site or call toask the manufacturer. Such questions also get spiffs of free filter(s). Most all major manufacturers life to hear from customers: You may get on a list of bargains on replacement filters, too. rclarknv

I did not shake mine so I cant tell if it makes noise. Previous answer sounds right. If in doubt, call the factory. I am very pleased with the filter. You might want to buy a brass fitting for the water connnection. I dont like the plastic connector. I had a brass fitting from my old filter that worked perfectly.

I didn't pay any attention when I installed mine. But it has lots of mineral rocks so I can see whyit would make noise when you shake it.

It depends on how long you've had it. It might be clogged or need a new filter. If it is new, I think there might be something wrong with it. It shouldn't be that loud.

Yes, this is typical of this lens. Once it is energized the rattle disappears.

Hate to say sounds like something wrong. I get the idea. Mine isn't that loud, but there is like an air noise, but doesn't seem to be a bad noise. Or hum, like some I've heard. Mine is more just the "perk" noise.Did you buy it from here. How often used? I'd contact Hamilton beach and ask. Since Amazon is merely the holder, Beach should know more the personality of unit.

All I know is that when I shake the cartridge I hear liquid.. I am very please with his product and will continue to use it... Hope that answers your question...

No- make sure the filter is in correctly. That caused problems with mine too!

Mine is very touchy about set up - gaskets placed very precisely or it will leak, tiniest bit of air left in filter makes it noisy. I frequently have to do it a second time to get it all right - granted part of that is my very limited attention span when doing it combined with the fact that I only tear this filter down about 4x each year for cleaning and I don't always remember all of it's little quirks. (Yes, I know it says more often but I'm running it on a tank with a small bioload). However, I've had this filter for about 15 years now and the only thing I've had to replace is gaskets and a clip that holds on the inflow pipe. I think it does an awesome job, but it can have it's quirks. Mine is very touchy about set up - gaskets placed very precisely or it will leak, tiniest bit of air left in filter makes it noisy.

I have both the standard and HD versions. And I have never had a rattle in them... Something is definitely wrong with it.

I just shook mine and there was no rattle. Sorry but I suspect something is amis with yours.

Mine is brand-new and when I shook it I am convinced that what you hear is the two parts of the lens covering that by design are loose flaps and make a noise when you shake the camera.

Yes, mine makes the same sound. I'm sure that's part of the filtration material.
1157235
Probably right - when I hold thumb on the lens covering and shake the rattle is reduced (although still present), and when the camera is turned on and shaken the rattle is different but seems located at lens area.

I didn't hear anything rattle. Just when we move the unit further away from the phone the music will skip. But Lepow customer service is pretty awesome, after I posted my issue, someone called me right away and sent me a new unit. You should update your complaint and maybe someone will reachout.Good luckRamiro

No, never had that problem. Sounds like you may need to send it back. Mines is not noisy. The fan is in the lid, but I have not noticed a real noticeable vibration and certainly it does not stop with the simple press on one side. Amazon has a very good customer service. Give them a call.

None. It's actually very quite. You might here some noise initially as its priming. But after about a minute or two it is silent. Make sure you have the tubes in the correct intake and outflow hookups. Also make sure the filter is level with your tank and not below it. Finally assure that your tubes run without any twists in them.

Yeah there is a very little wiggle sound. If that's what you're hearing when you shake the lens that's fine. No need to worry! I have it on mine also and it works perfectly fine.
