So i have acquired one of these recently. I have problems with it, i notice that there is little or no flow(not pumping) is there a way to gauge the flow? It's also making whining noises(different than a normal pump would make). it's a brand new.
 
The first thing I would do to see if its flowing would be to disconnect whatever comes after the pump in your loop, but leave everything else attached. Turn on the pump and see if water flows out of the tube attached to the outlet. Vary the height of the tube to see if it flows well at 0 feet head. It's hard to judge the flow unless you have a flow meter, but this subjective test should tell you whether it is actually pushing water or not.

Sometimes pumps need a few days to break in, so if you are still hearing funny noises in a couple of days, and there are no bubbles or anything unsual flowing through the pump, return it and get a Danner Mag3 (supreme3 etc...) from Petsmart or online. Works as well (most cases better) than the Hydor.
 
[h], yeah i just got it sunday, so i'll check it out. thanks for the feedback.
