Elite Hush 10 Power Filter

This filter came with my 10 gallon thank that I bought 4 years ago. It finally kicked the bucket and they don't sell the elite 10's anywhere close to me in stores! Anyway, I like this filter. It's easy to use, easy to clean and it's quiet. Yes, you can hear a soft (and I mean very very soft) hum....but only if you really are focused on listening for it! Ususally I keep the water in my tank full to the top, so all is quiet. I won't buy another filter. :)

I purchased this product for a 10 gal tank a friend gave me in order to upgrade from a 5 gal Hex system (that I absoutely love), so my fish would have more room. Right out of the box this thing drove me nuts. I went from an aquarium that I could see and not hear to one that I can hear all the way upstairs! It's worse when the lid is on. Not only that, but the intake valve is so short that when debris is "sucked up" toward it, the water flow pushes it right back down and away from the valve. It doesn't even reach half-way to the bottom of the tank when extended. I've already contacted the manufacturer since it's supposed to have a "lifetime warranty." I want my $ back & I am holding the people who designed this catastrophe responsible. DO NOT BUY this product.

My first Elite Hush 10 that came with my aquarium setup years ago was a fine power filter and I liked it just fine, did just what it was supposed to do. However, several years later when the first one died, I purchased my first replacement power filter, another Hush 10, and this one isn't but just a few months old and it makes a tremendous amount of motor noise for such a small filter, able to hear it a couple of rooms away if all else is quiet! I purchased a 3rd Hush 10 power filter, assuming my 2nd one was just a fluke, but the 3rd Hush 10 was 85% as loud as the one I was replacing right out of the box! 2 out of 3 of these Hush 10's have been a flop, I'm on the hunt for something else that's quieter!
