PROBABLE CAUSE
CORRECTION
7. Excessive Water in
Brine Tank and / or
Salty Water to Service
Plugged drain line or drain line control
Check flow to drain. Clean drainline
flow control button
Dirty or damaged brine valve
Clean or replace brine valve.
Plugged injector or screen
Clean or replace injector screen.
Low inlet pressure
Increase pressure to allow injector to
perform properly. (20 psig minimum)
Excessive brine refill cycle time
Lower brine refill time.
8. Softener Fails to Use
Salt
Check items listed in #1
Improper control valve programming
Check and reset programming
Plugged / restrict drain line
Clean drain line and / or flow control
button
Injector and / or screen is plugged
Clean or replace injector and screen
No water in brine tank
Check for restriction in BLFC. Ensure
safety float is not stuck. Check brine
tank for leaks.
Water pressure is too low
Line pressure must be at least 20 psi.

Check brine line connectionsfor air
leaks
Internal control leak
Call dealer. Check piston, seals and

Allow valve to run until homing slot is found or new error code appears.
Error 3 -
No encoder slots are being seen.
Check encoder connection. If encoder is connected. Check valve body for debris
and replace seals. Inspect piston and replace if worn.
Error 4 -
Unable to find homing slot.
Check encoder wheel for debris.
Error 5 -
