Water leaks back into aerator tank

[Adam Grzeskowiak]

Hi guys
I am new to the forum and I think it will be helpful in resolving my problem. I am located in Florida and have wall water system with an aerator tank, two pressure tanks: one for the aerator and the other one for pressurizing water to the house of course with two water pumps. My problem when the float is up, valve shuts water flowing to the tank (correct) and then there is a water leak back to the tank, small one though but it triggers aerator water pump to turn on and off momentarily and water overflows from the tank. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Can you adjust your float to shut off the water at a little lower level?

Yes, I did it , no change. Float switch triggers solenoid valve and this is still closed, but it lets water back into the aerator tank 9slow drip)

Can you post a photo showing the tanks etc, or make a diagram?

I answered this in the pump and tank forum. You need a new electric solenoid valve.

I thought it would be solenoid valve or check valve at the pump in the ground, if solenoid valve was good it should stop water backup. Will try to get new one.

Hi I'm new here and I can answer your question. You need to get a new solenoid valve for that.

Hi
I replaced solenoid valve but this time it did not shut off water when the float was up, looks like it stuck in an open position. I heard it is a common problems with newly installed valves. Will work on it today.

It is finally fixed. I opened and closed manual on/off lever, tapped the valve with screwdriver, turn on the pump and it shut off automatically when filled up.
Thank you guys for your help.
