Pipes rattling for 10-20 seconds every hour or so… …Saniflo is the culprit?
Hi!
My house has its own Septic tank. Since Saturday, my guests started using the basement bathroom that has a Saniflo system - the toilet, shower and the sink gets the macerator pumping. Two days later, on Sunday night, I heard a loud rattling from the pipes on the second level of the house - it seemed to be the right behind the jet whirlpool bath tub but could be heard everywhere. This happened twice that night. No issues throughout Monday and in the evening, I shut off the main valve and drained all the water from the faucets. But on Monday night, the rattling of the pipes started - almost every hour starting 2 am - even after the household woke up on all levels. The rattling seems to happen when the Saniflo system is used but not every time the Saniflo time is used.
How do I resolve this? How serious is this? Thanks in advance for your help.
Thanks,
JS
