    Hello,
    I am in search of some advice regarding the Chattering I get from my Maxi Jet 1200 Modded Powerhead. We use this to mix our new Saltwater before water changes. The chattering has no rhyme or reason. It can happen two days into mixing, or right after we drop it in the Mixing tank. We make about 25 gallons a week and attach the 1200 deep into the tank. Does anyone have any answers? It’s really annoying. Thanks.
    David

    if you can clean it, i had the same problem and it ended up that it was dry salt keeping water from into the pump, almost like its dry-locked

    I give it a little vinegar when the brown anti cake stuff builds it up. To be honest it looks brand new.
