Aprilaire 700 water never shuts off
Aprilaire 700 installed in 2005. Last year some flakey issue with water [seemed way too much water was flowing], so I just used the water on/off valve to regulate due to time restrictions I had. I figured it was a bad solenoid, so I bought a new solenoid this year, now here is what happens. Even when the furnace and humidifier is off, water continues to flow into the AprilAire 700 tray, regardless. If I turn on the furnace and turn the heat up I can turn the knob on the humidstat and hear the clicking, however the water flow never stops.

The float may be bad or sticking allowing water to run continusly even when unit is off.
Bryan thanks again for commenting. I found the solution. I looked at my old solenoid and the new solenoid. Here the water inlet is on the opposite side on the new solenoid. So I had to switch the water inlet to the other side.
