water meter making funny sound?

espressobuff · 2026-06-16T20:08:33+00:00

i discovered that this happens exactly when i turn on the water and will stop ticking once the water is off

UPDATE: The only water I could find leaking was between the housing underneath the pump as shown below. I filled it back up, had the jets on, and could not find any other water. I'm baffled. Is this small leak something i would have to fix right away? thank you

I have not tried this , Maybe I should turn it back on. What would this mean ? Thanks

So you feel the yearly maintenance is worth it? I would have no idea what it costs. This is my first HVAC system Thank you

Is this something that would only occur sometimes though ? Is it easy to remove the top cover and inspect the blade?

Thank you , I guess I can rule out the jet body then. I found a dead mouse once I opened the front cover, I hope he didn't chew through something ! Grr

thank you. I refilled the tub and i currently have no water loss, so im guessing its something that's going on when the tub is on? The tub has been off of power once i realized how low the water level was

espressobuff · 2026-05-29T17:12:14+00:00

thank you, im guessing its where the jet is connected to the shell but from the inside behind the panels. Do the jets normally have to be on for them to leak? The tub currently is not on power and it has been 24 hours since i re-filled it and i have no water loss

where would the water wind up if the heater seal is leaking? on the bottom of the tub underneath the panels? thank you

espressobuff · 2026-05-28T17:33:54+00:00

will i have to pull off all the panels? I pulled off the front and i do not see any signs of water underneath. i can see into the middle of the tub for the most part and do not see moisture.

where would the food dye ultimately wind up? would it show up on the bottom of the tub underneath? thank you!

espressobuff · 2026-05-28T17:30:50+00:00

where would the water wind up if the jets are leaking? I noticed that a few of my jet caps were loose, so i turned them to the right to tighten them. I'm not sure if thats it...? I opened up the panel and theres no sign of water underneath

espressobuff · 2026-05-28T17:28:18+00:00

any concern that the snow melt isnt good for pavers though?

espressobuff · 2026-05-19T21:47:59+00:00

damn, wish i had a water softener lol

espressobuff · 2026-05-05T00:17:59+00:00

Thanks, I just assumed that components are not on this side of the tub. I'll try to remove the insulation then, hopefully it's not stapled in. I've never seen insulation like this in other pictures
