RO Unit buzzing.

[Jamesurq]

I just hooked up an auto shutoff to my RO unit and it's making a cycling buzz sound.

Every 2-3 seconds it goes BZZZ and the backpressure on the hose causes it to vibrate.

Any thoughts - aside from "get a new autoshutoff valve" which I'm thinking is the right choice.

Ok - so it's more like every second. World's most boring youtube video coming up:

Tried your youtube link & it didn't work, private. You need to make it public if you want folks to see/hear what's going on.

Yeah it is set to private

 

[Jamesurq]

oops.

Fixed it.

Did a new auto shutoff valve valve fix the problem? Sure looks like that's what it is to me in the video. I have one on my system but do not use it 'cause I've never been able to get it to work consistently. No desire to try another one, I just don't trust them. Always home when I run the unit & set a timer as a reminder to keep an eye on production. Even with this procedure I've had a few mini floods because I get distracted. If I relied on the auto shutoff, I'm sure I would have had a major flood by now.
