Running water in pipe with no signs of leaks in MB shower

Author: coxy (FL)

I shut off all water and turned on farthest spigot. I replaced shower valve and faucet with new. I have a solar panel on roof with tank. I turned off power switch and and water supply
After replacing faucet I turned water back on and sound was gone. I used water everywhere in house no problems. When I turned shower back on then off the water sound came back.
Could it be the solarhart unit cycling water?
The leak people want $480 just to come out and thats to much for us to handle right now.
Any ideas? I'm at my wits end!

Author: hj (AZ) If it's the SolarHart, the water should be running off the roof, unless the safety valve line goes into one of the plumbing vent stacks. You could tell that by going up on the roof and looking down the pipe.
