Problems with my calcium reactor

[Sea Hunter]

My calcium reactor started acting up last night. Actually I think its the solenoid. It started making some real loud chattering noise and when I unplugged the solenoid it stopped. anyway to fix this or should I just take the solenoid out of the equasion? I never used it on a timer, just kept it plugged in. but then again if the power goes out what then?

Thanks for any help

Check all the screws on the solenoid make sure there tight, if the solenoid still chatters then it is about to fail I have found in my line of work anytime a solenoid chatters it will die within 2 weeks.

What's the voltage of the coil supply? If it drops below coil rating won't hold.

everything is tight and right with the solenoid and the voltage hasnt changed any. been running fine for a few months now. just all of a sudden last night started making a loud noise. Do I need the solenoid? if so wheres a good place to get a replacement.

Thanks guys
