Tunze ATO making loud noises now?

[Alex23]

My RO water for the ATO was low, so like usual, I unplugged the ATO and went to go refill the RO water. When I go back to plug it in, it's now making a somewhat loud noise that it never did. Like a vacuum noise. It seems to be coming from the part that goes in the water. I have the Tunze Osmolator Nano 3152 ATO.

Anyone know why it's making this sound now? I have it unplugged for now.

Invert the pump and clear the air bubble that has formed over the pump impeller.

You mean at the bottom in that small hole? Or unplug the tubes?

Lol. So how do I clean that?

No need to clean it, while it is under water turn it upside down and see if you notice an air bubble(s) trapped. Gently shake it or try to dislodge it with your finger and then let the pump fall back down.
