Why? Yours is brand new. If you want to quiet it down you should look at upgrading the driver.

Check this out....

Somebody from ecotech testing team said it would be around 100 dollars https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMg8S2al1qQ
I can live with a hundred dollars and the four decimals
The numbers don't add up though. It is not 90% queiter its not even 50% quiter look at the video's numbers.
And the 40% srtonger is a lie too. The extra 600 gallons per hour on a pump that already does 3900 gallons per hour is not 40%
This whole thing is nothing but lies and hype to get you to buy the pump.

Tell us how you really feel :biggrin:

Yeah, I think you misread the specs.

Changing just the driver will not decrease the sound by 90%, it greatly reduces noise but not by 90%. The 90% decrease in sound is when comparing am MP40wES to the new MP40wQD as a complete assembly.

As for flow rates. The MP40wES pumps out 3200 VS 4500 GPH for the new MP40wQD.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

thanks,

Ray

to help people put things into perspective, I've always considered 3 db to be "twice as loud" in a physics terms, however 9db should be considered twice as loud to the human ear and not forces

Do you think 2 mp60 are to much for a 90 gallon tank?

Way overkill. If you want to add some more "under toe" to your tank, you can add an MP10 and you'll have way more flow that you need.

So the MP40 makes a decent change in flow and noise.. but how about the MP10?

Is there a big difference in noise in the MP10ES vs the MP10QD?

Im testing out a MP10WES right now and i find the whirl sound of the dry side to be noticeably loud from a few feet away..

The MP10 is quietened further with the upgrade of the MP10-QD driver this is the only component that needs to be changed from MP10ES(or W) to MP10QD

I just performed the upgrade from the ES to QD this afternoon and wow, it actually does make a noticeable difference! I'm very sensitive to noises, and the MP10 was the loudest part of my tank. I had it on Reef Crest at the 3rd "dot" and could still hear it.

It is now barely audible. I mean it too. I know a lot of people say their MP10 is quiet, but mine was loud (I have gone through three of them, and all sounded the same)

The QD isn't a gimmick, I say go for it, if the current noise bothers you.

Those nyos skimmers are just as loud as the vertex we need a quite drive pump for a skimmer
