Hi there,
This morining while showering I became aware of a noise in the plumbing. On checking I find it is coming from the valves feeding the water softener. With no water running there is no noise but as soon as I turn on a tap there is a fairly loud vibration type noise. If I push the "Bypass" to cut off the flow of water to the control, the noise stops immediately and then resumes as soon as I return the bypass valve to its normal position. The noise seems to be coming from the two valves right behind the control box.
Just wondering if anyone has encountered a similar problem.
Note: the regeneration cycle seems to be set correctly and it is not "regenerating" when this is happening. I kind of sounds like it sometimes does during regeneration, but of course when that is happening there is no water running. Conversely this noise is only when there is water running.
Looks like those valves are straight forward to service ...4 screws atop each one. Wondering if they need new seals or something.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
