Rev. 3 

 

High Salt Consumption 

Problem 

Reason 

Solution 

 

1. Regenerates too 
frequently. 

 

 

See the section entitled Frequent 
Regeneration. 

 

 

 

See the section entitled 
Frequent Regeneration. 

 
2. Water level in the 
brine drum is too 
high. 

 

 

The brine valve is set wrong or non-
conforming. 

 
 

 

The brine valve or the brine drum is dirty. 

 

 

The brine valve leaks. 

 

 

Verify the brine valve setting. 
Replace non-conforming 
brine valve. 

 

 

Clean brine valve and drum. 

 
 

 

Tighten the connectors on 
the brine valve. 

 
 

Salty Treated Water 

Problem 

Reason 

Solution 

 

1. Restricted drain 
line. 

 

 

The drain is kinked or clogged. 

 

 

 

Clear any obstructions. Make 
sure that the drain line flows 
smoothly and unrestricted. 

 
2. Low water 
pressure. 

 

 

The unit should not see water pressure 
drop below 15 psi on the outlet at any 
time. During the backwash portion of the 
regeneration cycle, it must hold at least 
15 psi or the brine may not rinse out 
completely. 

 
 

 

The prefilter cartridge is plugged. 

 

 

 

Test the outlet pressure with 
the unit in backwash and one 
faucet at high flow. Measure 
the pressure by placing a 
gauge on the brine fitting. 
Raise pressure if below 15 
psi. 

 

 

Replace prefilter cartridge. 

 
3. The backwash flow 
control is plugged. 

 

 

Without enough backwash flow to the 
drain, the unit cannot wash all the salt 
from the media tanks. 

 

 

 

Clean the backwash flow 
control. 

 
4. The drain is 
extremely long or 
placed higher than 8 
feet above the floor. 

 

 

Such drain runs can put back-pressure on 
the unit and restrict the drain flow. This 
causes the same result as number 3 
above. 

 

 

Locate a closer drain or use a 
larger diameter drain line. 

 
5. The upper 
distributors are 
plugged. (This does 
not apply to High 
Efficiency softeners) 

 

 

Foreign material that finds its way into the 
media tanks may be collected around the 
upper distributors during backwash, 
clogging them. 

 

 

Clean upper distributors. 

 

Install a prefilter. 

 
6. Water level in the 
brine drum is too 
high. 
 

 

 

The brine valve is set wrong or non-
conforming. 

 

 

Verify the brine valve setting. 
Replace non-conforming 
brine valve.
