Re: Water Pump OverHeating
Water pump or air pump?The air pump will feel warm but shouldnt be too hot to touch.What model is it?You can research the model and see if anyone else has any issues with it getting too hot.

Re: Water Pump OverHeating
We don't have the same air pump but I usually shut mine off before going to sleep... (that quiet humming noise) I've never had it heat up or anything.
What size tank is it in? It could be that it's too powerful for the tank? or a problem with the air tube? I'm asking questions since I don't really know what the problem would be. :/

Re: Water Pump OverHeating
Its normal to get warm.The mechanics of an airpump(or from what I understand)is a diaphram that vibrates causing air.This will get warm,but it should never get so hot you cant touch it.If its that hot,then take it back or trash it.
