Gravel cleaner Broken

[bigfish]

I went to use my gravel cleaner and it was spihioning the water okish but it was making this really hprrible noise!!! like a big snort!!!!!!!!!! constandly and was putting air into the bucket below but there is no air in the sypohn tube

Is it broken? the valve as it never made this noise before!!!

You most likely have a hole in the hose. The valve, being under water, should not make any noise or bring in air. CLean it as best you can, fill it with TAP water, put your finger over one end, and blow on the other. You will likely find your hole. I wouldn't suggest trying to patch it as anything you use will get into the tank, such as the glue from tape.

I agree with bink. its a hole or a bad seal on the vac above the water line.
