❑ No back pawl not installed.
❑ Damaged tooth on the meter disc.
❑ Damaged gear in the gearing stack.
▪
Replace meter drive pawl.
▪
Reinstall meter drive spring.
▪
Install no back pawl.
▪
Replace meter disc.
▪
Regear Level 1 Assembly and check
allowable flow rates.
2. The unit will not
go into automatic
regeneration.
❑ Water meter disc is not turning.
❑ Control disc will not automatically
advance out of service position.
❑ Damaged teeth on control disc.
▪
See number 1 above.
▪

Replace control disc.
3. No vacuum in brine
position.
❑ Check stems missing or not working
correctly.
❑ Plugged venturi.
❑ Plugged backwash flow control.
❑ Plugged brine elbow screen.
▪
Replace or add check stems.
▪
Clean out Level 3 venturi throat and
molded venturi nozzle (Do not use a paper
clip!).
▪
Clean out backwash flow control.
▪
Clean out brine elbow screen.
4. Short salting. ❑ The grid system allows a water level no
more than 1" above the grid. If the
cabinet is not level, it may exceed this.
▪
Level the cabinet.
5. Bridged salt in the
cabinet.
❑ Salt has solidified in the cabinet.
▪
Carefully move the salt around to break up
the mass of solidified salt.
6. The by-pass is
open.
❑ An open by-pass allows water to flow
around the system without any treatment
at all.
▪
Close the by-pass.
7. The by-pass is
leaking.
❑ This can be determined by testing the
water at a soft water tap. With the water
still running, disconnect the brine line at
the valve and test the water. Water that
tests soft at the brine fitting and hard at
the tap indicates a by-pass that is
leaking.
▪
Repair or replace the by-pass.
8. Unit does not refill
or overfills.
❑ The brine valve is set incorrectly.
❑ The brine valve is non-conforming.
❑ The venturi nozzle is plugged.
❑ The brine elbow screen is plugged.
▪
Set the brine valve according to
instructions on the brine valve installation
sheet in the owner's pack or tech manual.
▪
Replace the brine valve.
▪
Clean out Level 3 venturi throat and
molded venturi nozzle. (Do not use a
paper clip!)
