Iron Bleed-through
Problem Reason Solution
1. Customer
plumbing.
❑ Previous iron buildup inside existing
plumbing after the water softener.
▪
Verify the customer plumbing is the
problem by testing the water quality at the
brine fitting with water conditions.
2.
The water meter disc
is not set properly
for current raw
water conditions.
❑ The composition of raw water can change
with time.
▪
Check the hardness and iron content of
raw water. Install the correct disc for
current raw water conditions.
3. The salt setting is
not set properly for
current raw water
conditions.
❑ The composition of raw water can change
with time.
▪
Check the hardness and iron content of
raw water. Install the correct disc for
current raw water conditions.
4. The iron may be
ferric iron.
❑ Ferric iron is not removable by ion
exchange.
❑ The iron may be finer than the micron
rating of the installed prefilter cartridge.
▪
Verify by using the demo softener to
determine if iron is removable by the ion
exchange. Add additional equipment if
needed.
▪
Install a cartridge with finer micron rating.
Water Running to Drain
Note: With softeners and filter/softeners, start by testing the drain water. If the drain water is hard, the tank
currently in service has a problem with its drain valve. If the drain water is soft, start with number 1 below.
Problem Reason Solution
1. The balance piston
O-ring is not seated
properly.
❑ Water will leak past an improperly seated
balance piston O-ring and out the drain.
▪
Depress the actuator several times to seat
the O-ring. Replace worn or non-
conforming O-ring.
2. Bad control disc.
❑ A scored control disc will allow a fast drip
to a pencil-sized stream to flow through
the drain.
▪
Replace the control disc.
3. The drain or control
valve seals are not
seating properly.
❑ Foreign matter under the seals will not
allow them to seat properly.
▪
Disassemble and remove the foreign
matter from seals.
4. Low water
pressure.
❑ If the water pressure is less than 15 psi at
the brine fitting, the system may not
operate properly.
❑ Test Backwashing Filters with the unit in
backwash and 1 faucet (cold) running water.
▪
Increase water pressure.
5.
The Main Valve
piston quad rings or
Level 4 internal quad
rings are not
sealing.
❑ The quad rings may be rolled, pinched,
torn or just dirty.
❑ The quad rings may be chloramine or
chlorine damaged if on a chlorine treated
water supply.
▪
Replace and re-silicone the quad rings.
▪
Replace quad rings with silicone seals.
Order chloramine kit, part number 10534A.
