Cerges Noise Level

Can anyone comment on the noise level of your Cerges reactor? I had a Mista Max Mix and want something more quiet. I have the tank in my living room and it is currently dead silent. I do have a cabinet to put it in. I may just do a nice glass ceramic diffuser if it's gunna be loud. Thanks


I'm planning on using this:

Pentek 3G-STANDARD-20-CLEAR-PR20 Whole House 20 inch Water Filter

I just built one and I would say its pretty quiet. However there factors that could lead to it being louder than it should be. For instance I seem to eventually loose water level in my reactor over a few days, as a result it gets louder than normal. As a fix I may try to go with bigger hose to plumb it with, add a ball valve on the outlet to up the pressure in the reactor, or add more flow with a bigger pump.

I have mine running on a seperate pump which is an Ehiem Compact 1000. With a 20 inch reactor I would imagine you would need pretty good flow.
