Filter socks or the sock silencers may be
clogged.
Clean the filter socks and sock silencers.
The socks may be due to be replaced.
If the flow rate is very high, it may be too high to
allow the water to pass through the silencers fast
enough.
Remove the silencers or reduce the flow rate.

Check the relative heights of the
baffles. If there is a large drop, the
water falling can be noisy.
Adjust the heights of the baffles.
Flow rate in the sump may be too
high to allow a silent flow. While
the system will work correctly,
the solution may be to reduce the
water flow through the sump.
Check the grille on the movable
baffle for blockages. If only part of
the grille allows water through, it
can become noisy.
Clean the grille if required.

If the water level has dropped,
there may be a leak in the tank
body itself. To find a leak, it may
be necessary to remove the tank,
dry it and place it on newspaper to
find the leak.
Turn off all pumps and mark the
water level with a marker. Leave
the tank for at least a few hours
and see if the water level has
dropped.
Check all plumbing fittings and all
equipment.
Watch for any splashing of water.
Clean any salt buildup from all surfaces.
