Aqua One retailer for advice as many issues may be resolved with a replacement part or

an adjustment.

Check the water level in the weir.

If the level is too low, air will be

drawn into the main drain creating

the sound.

Adjust the drain.

If adjusting the gate valve doesn’t

affect the water level, there may

be a blockage in the main drain.

Remove the gate valve and check

the plumbing for a blockage.

(See Page 13)

If the level is too high, water will

spill into the emergency drain,

drawing air into it creating the

sound.

Adjust the drain.
