So I ordered my current USA 1/15th HP chiller and picked it up from the LFS today. After hours of set up and plumbing and organizing equipment... It is making my would house shake with this unbelievable sound!!! The whole enclosure is vibrating and rattling up a storm. This model features "rubber legs to eliminate vibration" and "an ultra quiet motor". BS! This thing is gonna wake up my neighbors!!
Before anybody asks, I have unplugged it and plugged it back in, several times. I have also checked and it IS NOT the pump. It is definitely a vibration that stems from inside the unit and it merely reverberating though this plastic enclosure.
Is there anything I can do, before undoing all of my hard work and plumbing? Does anyone else have a model like this, or similar to this? This is my first chiller and if they are all this bad, I am not finishing this nano set up.
Thanks
Here's a link to a video to see how insane it is...

Send the vid to Current and see what they say. I am going to go out on a limb and say that is not normal.

Just so everybody knows:
So I took the thing back to the LFS today and it didn't make the noise. shocker... So then It came back home and it was just as bad if not worse and so I said screw it... and bought a JBJ mini arctica. WWWAAAAYYYYY BBBBEEETTTTEEEERRRRR!! And it's like 30 bucks more. SSOOO worth the money. The entire setup, look, mechanics and functions are soo supreme compared to that crappy current thing. I was so disappointed with that hunk of garbage. If you're considering buying a chiller, go JBJ. It's well worth it.
