A:  I don't know what the problem is. I purchased this part for a friend because the original was cracked. She has not mentioned anything about a 'Clunking' noise, but sometimes when the pump shuts off the sudden stop causes the pipes to shake which could cause a noise.

A:  Did you install it as per the diagram? It needs to be in a vertical orientation in order to continue to function properly. The main reason an air cushion device stops working is that the air cushion disappears, in order words, the air chamber has filled with water. This can happen if there is a crack in the device allowing water to populate what should be the air chamber (in this specialized case the air cushion is under the very water that you are pumping through the pipes). If there isn't a crack, somehow the device has filled with water and you need open it up and drain it to get it working again.

A:  Because once the unit displays leaks around the some of the four bolts that mend the unit together. It looses some of the cushioning pressure for the flap or valve to easily and to float in its close position.

A:  Because this item sucks
