The diverter inside your manifold is likely broken. You should stop using the heater immediately as the nocking is from water starting to boil in your heat exchanger. This can lead to a dangerous situation if a limit switch does not act in time.
Pull the inlet hose from the heater and you should see a plate just inside. If you can move it around it is broken and the fix is a new exchanger assembly.
You can fin these online and we sell them at www.arrowmotor.net
The part number for the exchanger is IDXHXA1101. We sell it for $368 but you could likely find it on-line elsewhere for less. If the unit is only a year or two old, contact me through www.arrowmotor.net for instructions on how to approach Hayward about a replacement. You will need a receipt showing it is that new for relief on the part pricing.
I sent an email to my regional rep asking for him to confirm. I'll post his reponse. In the mean time, what is your pH level and what method do you use to check it?

- When I have spoken to my Hayward rep in the past he stated there is no repair for that and they should not move at all. When they start flopping around you get intermittent flow in the heat exchanger that leads to the problem you are describing.The part number for the exchanger is IDXHXA1101. We sell it for $368 but you could likely find it on-line elsewhere for less.

- No. The combustion fan can sound like it is full or gravel and sqeaul as the bearings fail and as it does, it will cause a pressure switch to open the safety circuit, shutting off the heater. Nocking, bankging, popping; anything you would classify as a loud noise like popcorn popping is the boiling of water in the exchanger. In the 100, that often means the diverter.I sent an email to my regional rep asking for him to confirm. I'll post his reponse.

Jun 21, 2009- Hi John224
I took the heater apart and had it arc welded work's great now. [/end-quote] what did you arc weld to?? or did you just keep it from moving it up down the tube?? i am wondering if can be just kept from moving by other means (instead of welding). anyway; i have the same nonsense going on and really dont see why i should have to pay $350+ if its not under warranty. Seems like Hayward has designed a defective part. And i dont see how it could be dangerous it is if the limit switch shuts it off anyway.......
