    5600 not drawing brine Quick question

    Was spot on, will add another hint, don't just replace all seals, replace valve also. Seal replacement cured brine draw however it also caused valve to start leaking around stem. So replace valve body and seals at same time for best results.

    Water hammer mystery / crisis

    You said you had moved the pipes.I would bet that one of them is loose and jumping when you close the valve quickly.See if you can make some shims or wedges up and place them where the pipes go thru the framing.I was replacing some sheetrock in our ceiling and got to witness the banging first...
