      I think my O ring needs replaced, its kinda squishy. I am going to try to slow it down too and see if that does it. I ordered new O rings. :-) Of course I still have to use the dumb reactor because it works god but I still hate it.

      Mine is piped off my main return line, so the pressure can get really high if I leave the control valve open all the way (which I have accidentally done before )
