Title: 2 Caldara Niagra Q's
Post by: Tubthumper on October 04, 2005, 09:00:50 pm

Hiya all... Thanks for checking out my post.

I am getting a gurgle sound coming from near my circulation valve (where the hot water enters the tub). If I place my finger slightly over the valve as to restrict the flow a little, the gurgle stops for about 5 seconds, then returns. Any suggestions on a fix or do I just live with this?

Also, the supplimental air valves that add power to the jets are slightly hissing and wont shut off the air feeds. Is there an easy fix or do I just call the service folks?

Thanks again!

The diverters will make a little noise, based upon their positioning.  It should not be ridiculous as far as decibels are concerned.

The air control valves in my Niagara have failed 3+ times.  There seems to be something in the design that allows the valve to come out of alignment.  This will only be fixed by a service call.  Be sure that they replace the valve (don't let them try to realign the old one).

Thanks for the advice! I will call service on the air valves.
