About the water softener system.

find the problem. First make the following visual checks.
VISUAL CHECKS:
Is there electrical power to the outlet the water softening system transformer
is plugged into?
Is there sufficient salt in the storage tank? The tank should be at least 1/3 to
1/2 full of salt.

Is the valve drain hose open to the drain, not more than 8
′
above the
softener, and unobstructed?
