my system is running through it's leak test at the moment. Finally got the gate valves dialed in to where the overflow is quiet. that took awhile.
once i got passed that, i am now struggling with how to quiet the gate valves down. It literally sounds like a faucet running. It's definitely coming from the gate valve. I have decreased / increased flow, and I can't get it to stop. It's up here in my living room, so it's quite noisy.
I did consider making a "bubble" type enclosure that I could seal it off with, but I am not sure if that will do anything. Figured it's worth a shot. Velcro this enclosure in place and be done. That way I can remove it if I need to adjust the valves.
Not sure what to do though. How on earth can I fix this issue?
Here is where the noise is coming from (it's definitely the return pump line (center)
