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
upflow 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
cabinet is too high.
❑ The brine valve is set wrong or non-
conforming.
▪
Verify the brine valve setting. Replace
non-conforming brine valve.
Taste, Color & Odor
Problem Reason Solution
1. Treated water
has a metallic
or iron taste.
❑
See the section entitled “Iron Bleed-
through.
”
▪ See the section entitled “Iron Bleed-
through.
”
2. Treated water has
chlorine odor
and/or taste.
❑ This is due to heavily chlorinated raw city
water.
▪
Install a carbon filter.
3. Treated water has
a salty taste.
❑ In high TDS (1000+) applications, salt
taste may be present due to the ion
exchange process or sodium chloride in
the raw water.
❑
See the section entitled “Salty Treated
Water.
”
▪
Inform the customer of the KineticoPRO
RO System or Commercial RO System.
▪ See the section entitled “Salty treated
Water.
”
4. Treated water has
a yellow tint.
❑ The raw water may have traces of tannins
present.
❑
See the section entitled “Iron-Bleed
through.
”
▪
If tannins are present, use tannin softener.
▪
See the section entitled
“Iron-Bleed
through.
”
5. Treated water
has an odor (hot
water only).
❑ The magnesium rod in hot water tanks
can cause a reaction that gives off an
odor of rotten eggs.
▪
Remove this rod from the hot water heater.
An alternative rod may be installed.
