NO SOFT WATER—Most Common Problems:
Check the following before calling for service:
•
Not enough salt—should be at least 1/3 full.
•
Bypass valve in “Bypass” position—knob should be in the “OUT” (service) position.
•
Hardness setting too low—check hardness setting and adjust. Verify hardness of
supply water—from local water company, water test or call the GE Answer Center.
•
Salt Bridge—salt solidifies above water level so that brine water is not in contact
with salt. See the
Breaking a Salt Bridge
section.
