I've had this pump for a number of months with no issues, but I've just changed the layout of my setup and gone to silicone tubing and now air is getting into my system somehow....
Here is part of my last post from the "Problems with watercooling setup" thread I had going:
"...I tried running the pump in a bucket of water, but because I had to move the pump and therefore the hoses as well, I could not tell for sure if air was getting in or not, though it did appear to be.
With the pump out of the bucket, air is definitly still getting in... I checked the pump for cracks but can't see any. There is the part at the front of the pump that you can remove to replace the impeller that I haven't checked, so I'll do that tonight..
One thing I noticed, but am not too sure about is that I can hear a "gurgling" sound coming from my pump, basically all the time. It's the same sound as when air bubbles get sucked into the pump, but I can't see air bubbles going in through the tubes... Has anyone with an Eheim 1048 pump had this kind of problem? "
