Possible Causes

High backwash flow rate, Inadequate pipe supports, Flexible hoses resonating, Partially closed valves causing turbulence

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Ensure all valves are accessible and not leaking before adjustment.

  • Check valve positions: Confirm all isolation valves are fully open to minimize turbulence.
  • Secure pipework: Add or tighten pipe clips near the Ecowater softener and along vibrating sections.
  • Use flexible connectors: Install high-quality flexible hoses between the softener and rigid pipework to absorb vibration.
  • Consult Ecowater settings: On some models, backwash flow can be adjusted via flow controls; ensure they match the resin tank size.
