Just swapped out the hard to adjust RSR valve for a gate valve.
Immediately quieter.
Thanks to all the members that have posted this here with a parts list

hardest part of doing it was moving the bracket on the stand and that was easy

I know, I don’t know why RS still produce them with that stupid valve.

On the S650 it’s hidden behind the tank so every owner has to leave a 6 inch gap behind the tank. As opposed to installing a gate valve in the sump......

Maybe they need some plumbing advice
