PROBLEM
:
THE SOFTENER DOES NOT SUCK THE BRINE
Disconnect the brine suction pipe from the floater valve.
Check if during the induction cycle, there is suction through this
pipe. If it is so, the origin of the problem is in the brine tank.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
CORRECTION
Lack of salt in the tank
Add salt
Obstruction in the floater valve
Clean and eliminate the obstruction
Faulty brine valve
Change the salt valve
Disconnect the brine suction pipe from the floater valve. During the
salt induction cycle, there is no suction through this pipe. The origin
of the problem is in the valve (apart from a possible fault in the tank
too).
Obstruction in the brine suction pipe.
Eliminate the obstruction
Valve H.1020, or, PNV-7 is obstructed.
Unblock or change it.
Injector’s filter is obstructed (full of dirtiness)
Eliminate dirtiness or change it.
Obstructed injector. (Grooves covered with
dirtiness).
Clean the injector disk grooves. Change.
Insufficient inlet pressure.
Watch that the minimum pressure is
higher than 2 kg/cm

.
Disconnect the brine suction pipe from the floater valve. During the
induction cycle no suction is detected, on the contrary water is
expulsed towards the salt tank. The origin of the problem is in the
valve or in the mains.
Insufficient suction power of the injector.
Change the injector disk for another one
of a lower number.
Drain regulation valve closed. It is placed in the
front higher part, immediately behind the timer.
Open it.
With the valve in front, you can see the
two flat faces on both sides.
Injector gasket is not well placed. (It does not
coincide with the disk grooves).
Place the gasket in the right position.
Insufficient inlet pressure.
Watch that it must be minimum 2 kg/cm
