The new ones are amazingly quiet!

Hi Randy,
My problem was exactly the same as yours - poly outlet tube deformed and folded back on itself through incorrect attachment and sealing of O-ring and metal adapter plate to outlet pipe, restricting water flow and promoting sludge build-up. Took unit to local repairer who replaced whole central casing and innards for A$295. He mentioned that unit should run for another 25 years and they are one of the best and solid units ever built. Replacement price for similar unit was over A$1,500. Very Happy camper!
Cheers.
