    Aqua Medic SP 3000 Niveaumat

    Does anyone have an Aqua Medic SP 3000 Niveaumat top up system? If so, does yours make a clunking sound about half the time the pump starts up? Is there a fix? I'm on my second one having returned the original because it was so noisy. I'm trying to live with the noise but it's driving me nuts.
