I picked up a previously owned FX5 a few weeks ago and just got it set up this weekend. The previous owner warned me that it was a bit noisy, so I cleaned the motor and impeller prior to getting it set up. It has been running now for about 24 hours and it is a bit on the noisy side despite my cleaning.
Anyone have any experience with a noisy FX5 and the solution to the problem? I have looked and can pick up a new impeller for about $45 or a new motor and impeller for $95. My dilemma is whether to get just the impeller or the whole assembly. I'd like to be able to fix the problem with the minimal outlay of cash, but at the same time don't want to have to buy two impellers when I only need one.
