Is there anyone having experience that you used 50hz filter in 60 hz
area?

I bought Eheim Pro3 2073 230V 50Hz in Germany and tried to operate in
220V 60Hz area.
Firstly it seemed to work well but after some minute, it made irregular
noise and didn't work well.
Do you guys have any experience and know any tip to resolve my
problem?-

About all you can do is get a new filter that uses local power. It
will just burn up otherwise.

Thank you, The Share,

Do you have any experience or any technical background for your answer?
I already know that pump will rotate faster than 50hz circumstance ,
make heat and have reduced life.
I found there are different Impeller size depending on Hz.
60Hz is having smaller size than 50Hz.
Can I use it by just replacing Impeller with one of 60Hz?

Thanks again,

I'm no expert on motors other than fixing them at work and didn't know
there were replacement impellers for different Hz power. I don't know
where you are but don't you have 110V 60Hz? That would mean buying a
new filter but you would get the proper motor for your area if you buy
it locally. You could try the different impeller first if you are
tight on money.
