Just returned pump from Ponics -so noisy you couldn't hear the water in the fountain. What has been your experience with the Becket pump?

We have not had problems. We use ours outdoors, so we may not notice noise, like you could if indoors. We have had ours for 3 years and would buy another.

Make sure the pump is properly seated into its base and the suction cups are properly secured the back. Mine was a little loud as well until I did this. Also if it starts to overflow it's because the filter is dirty

I would say that the pump is a fairly quiet, muted sound. Doesn't run for long once you first inflate, just small adjustments here and there.

Take the unit apart and pull the little pump out and see if its clogged with debris. When the pump get clogged it will start getting loud. Also if there is air getting in it will be noisy so make sure to fill the enclosed compartment(where the filter sits) is filled with water first. Hope this helps.

I have not had a problem with mine. Did you check out the video's on how to clean the pump? That might help.

It shouldn't be that loud! Mine is roughly a month old and it's only "noisy" when it it isn't full of water. Try filling to the max, if that doesnt help try cleaning the motor. Other than that it could be a bad motor......

my pump is very quiet. If it is sitting on a surface wrong, or touching something else, it will buzz. You might try moving it around or setting it on a washcloth or something to quiet the buzzing.

Mine makes a little sound but I would say less than the regular sump pump does. As long as your not paying for the water you should be fine. The pump itself is pretty powerful and handles things no problem for me. My sump runs a lot and so the backup is a must. I've never see them used as the primary but I don't see why it wouldn't work?

When I start hearing the pump, my water level is low. Keep it filled up and you should not be hearing that noise! It sucks up a lot of water but then, it puts out the amount of steam I need for my quilting projects. I have to use a flashlight to be able to read the water line....must be bad lighting at my ironing board!

I haven't experienced any noise after the pump stops and the check valve closes. It sounds like the valve is leaking a little bit and allowing water to drain back.

The pump is not that loud. Mine is in the garage, so the sound is not an issue for us. It does make a clicking sound every few seconds while it is refilling the tank after you use water and also while it fills the tank. Otherwise, it does not make noise unless it is in use. Hope that helps!

The pump is very quiet. Mine is installed around the corner of the house from the pool and you cannot hear it. I have it set for 3,000 rpm for 1st stage and 2,400 for the remainder. I would give it an 8 on your scale.

I replaced the stock fans because I considered them to be to noisy, the pump is silent, noise is equal to the quality of fans you use.

My best answer is that this device is a high volume pump and pumps make noises.... That is the best answer i can come up with.

I had the same thing also. The check valve i got from lowes was not good. There is one on here, I think its called the Quiet check Valve. Its clear and white. I added that and i done even hear my pump run. I had to go down to listen and make sure it worked. No thud or gurgling. Great addon. Also its clear so you can see what the check valve is doing. I love my liberty pump with the valve i was walking about.

The pump doesn't appear to make any noise, at least I can't hear it over the fan. Than fan is changeable with one quieter as long as it is the same size.

Thank you for your question! We are sorry to hear you are having an issue with your fountain, and we would be happy to help! Typically, when the pump make a loud grinding sound (similar to that of a garbage disposal) its is because the fountain is low on water. We recommend to unplug the pump when it begins to make this sound, clean, and refill your fountain. If the submersible pump is without an adequate amount of water for too long, this can cause damage to the system, and a replacement pump would be needed.
