There is a running water sound as if the tank is constantly trying to refill itself. What causes this?

Hey Steve, there should only be running water sound when the tank is filling after you used some of the stored water. Unless you drained the tank to fill up a big big pot, it should not take that long to refill. You might want to check to see if the psi or pressure of the tank is where it should be. You are not filling the entire tank, you are filling a portion with an air balloon providing the pressure to push stored water out to the spigot on command. This is a closed system so water cannot be running forever. If so, the sound is either from something else or you have a major leak below the sink.

It will run for a while after using it, as it is in fact refilling the holding tank. It should stop after a while though. Depends on how much water you used, but it does seem to take a while to refill.

If your problem is occurring even with the temperature low AND your tank is older, it is possible that the heating coils within the heater are deteriorating. This exposed "hot spots" that boil the water even if your temperature is low. Or...the thermostat is broken and on "high". This has finally happened to mine and I get noise and sputtering even at the lowest setting. Time for a new tank for me. Mine lasted 10 years.

You have to run water down the line, so there should be fluid from that when the tank us empty.

Mine makes a soft popping sound. Its sounds like as the water is dripping through and the air replaces it kind of like pouring liquid from a bottle.

I don't know, I don't have a problem with mine. Maybe there is built up sediment in your tank and sprayer. I hope that this helps. I also have a filter for the water on mine.

sounds like propane in the line but not coming from the tank. Tank overflow valve may have sucked up to cut off propane. Disconnect, bounce tank (assuming it is full), to shake valve down, then turn slowly so it doesn't suck up again. Happens on the new regulation tanks with overfill valve.

It can be when the water level gets low. I keep it pretty full and the sound is deadened, more like running water into the sink, which is exactly what it is!

The dirty water collection tank is full. Also make sure you clean and wash the filters. If the filters are clogged it will shut down.

Hi Mate, it all depends on what type of buzzing sound your hearing. It could be that the filter compartment may have low water levels or that the filter or pump has dislodged and is vibrating against the wall of the tank. Hope this helps.

My pool people says with loud sound , it is on its last leg. Mine was also leaking water. I replaced rather then refurbished.i believe was right move. However if not leaking and working wait till it goes. Bought new pump online ,less money then local. Noise from housing motor !i believe he said.

If you mean the openings in the bottom part of the humidifier, that is just normal operation. You will hear a gurgling sound when you place the full water tank on the base.

I have not had this problem with either pump I installed. Possibly water is not staying in the line and the gaskets are getting dried out or your intake and overboard discharge are clogged and water is not flowing smoothly through the system or (if you have one) your holding tank is full so there is no place for the water to pump into...

Check the water level in the tank to make sure there is enough water for it to run. Check the dial that controls the volume/output to ensure that it's turned up high enough. When the water tank is placed on the base, you'll hear a gurlging sound as the water fills the resevoir. If you don't hear that, it may not be placed on the base properly or a valve may be stuck. The mist will not come out at a strong force, but you should be able to see it when the humidifier is turned up at least 1/2 way.

I have found two solutions: 1) The buzzing gets loud when the water level is low. No idea why. Refill the chamber. 2) The pump has move itself against one of the chamber's walls. I used a ruler to slide the pump into the middle of the chamber so it does not touch any of the walls. Hope this works for you.

Make sure the pump is properly seated into its base and the suction cups are properly secured the back. Mine was a little loud as well until I did this. Also if it starts to overflow it's because the filter is dirty

It's most likely a defective unit, I have one and it works constantly until the tank runs out

Make sure it's not leaking at the water connections and not actually from the tank itself.
