A few years ago I had a solatube with fan installed in my bathroom. The two tubes (one for light, one for extracting moisture) are separate.
I've just recently noticed that when the fan is on, I can hear the sound of trickling water. So up into the ceiling cavity to check it out. No signs of a roof leak, no dampness anywhere and I even gave the ducting a shake in case any water had pooled in it. Nope.
The trickling sound is still there. Is it possible that there's water inside the (sealed) fan assembly? Could it be acting like some kind of water wheel, moving the water as it spins? As it is encased in black plastic, I can't see into the thing itself.
Has anyone else ever come across anything like this?
