If the Dosatron D25F stops clicking completely even when the water flow is above the minimum flow rating, possible causes include:
1. The piston inside the motor is stuck or damaged. 2. Internal seals or components are worn or blocked. 3. There is an obstruction in the water path preventing movement. 4. The unit may need cleaning or maintenance.
These issues can prevent the internal mechanism from cycling, which stops the clicking sound.
