NO MORE LEAKS - YAY!
Salt Mixer is up and running.
Final Stats on Noise Level: Drum has 25 gallons of water in it (about half full). The noise level from the bubbles entering the drum are slightly more than the sound of the Mag 12 running. Mags aren't exactly quiet pumps.
Gary - what you could do is take a piece of tubing to car parts store and get a black rubber cap that will fit the tubing. Go ahead and do the mod and if it is too noisey for you then simply cap it. You can always remove the cap to aerate your water just before your water changes. OR you could put an airline control valve on it. This isn't tested but I'd be willing to bet that you could reduce the amount of air entering the pipe to make smaller and fewer bubbles that would still aerate the water over time and reduce the noise almost completely.
