Hi all
We really like our new rig, but the water pump is most annoying. The water pulses as it comes out of the faucets in quick spurts, almost like one of those special shower heads. Of course, it gets all the pipes vibrating and making a pretty good racket. I have tried all the usual remedies for noisy pumps - flexible hoses in and out, insulation on pipes, securing it properly, cleaning the filter, tightening all fittings, etc.
All to no avail. There are no leaks on the pressure side and it does not cycle unless a faucets is on.
This unit has a pump I am not familiar with - Artis model PDS1RV25 It also has a 4 way valve system for directing water flow. The pump must draw the water through this valve from the tank that is at the back of the unit, through probably 30 feet of 1/2 inch plastic pipe. I wonder if that is just too much for the pump to handle.
Has anyone encountered a similar problem with this configuration, and if so did you find a workable solution?
Thanks for your help. Jim S
