Thanks for the post Steve. In the off season I sent in my Nano for "repairs". CDL claimed to have made those repairs so the valve no longer hisses. They were wrong as it still hisses. Had they just told me that's the design I would have been fine with it. I've now heard from you Steve and others that perhaps the hissing noise is normal. I'm now looking at the RO bucket kit as there are other issues with my Nano that I'm frustrated with. Frankly I'm reluctant to contact CDL as I've had enough abuse to date.
