Ninjabeaver Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 So I got my rw-8's in for the 75 build and of course I wanted to test one out on the 40b. Super powerful...but the next morning it was making a grinding sound that was rather loud, when I first ran it, it was silent. ALso when I change settings the grinding will go away but comes and goes as the speed of the propeller adjusts. Anyone else familiar with the RW series and if the noise is common?

old salt Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I have the RW-15 and it works great, I’m actually not using it to its full potential. It is loud as the fan winds up and down but I think I can deal with it for the price. I’m also going to get the doser form jebao. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kev311 Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I should be getting my rw-8 Monday, I hope that's not my situation as everywhere I've read they have all said they were dead silent.

icepikbiker Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 I've heard a lot of people saying they are loud until they get broke in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabeaver Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I hope so, I also haven't tested the other one to see how it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 Mine WP-60 in the frag tank picks up stuff every once in a while, any chance something is stuck on the housing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pnwreefer Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 My Rw-8 is quite I can slightly here it b ut I would never say it's loud, I'm with theclark something might be stuck or I would send it back for a replacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninjabeaver Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I took it out and im going to test the other one...once the 75 is up I will give it a few days to break in and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I remember my wp40s being on the loud side when I first got them and quieting down quite a bit after breaking in. Hope the rw is better...I just ordered 2 that will be here tomorrow ???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
