Possible Causes

Shortened rinse cycle, Blocked drain line reducing rinse flow, Incorrect cycle programming, Stuck valve not fully in service position

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Salty water is usually not hazardous but may be unsuitable for low-sodium diets.

  • Flush system: Run cold water at a nearby tap for several minutes after regeneration to clear residual brine.
  • Check drain line: Ensure the drain hose is not kinked or restricted, allowing full rinse flow.
  • Verify cycle times: Confirm that backwash and rinse durations are set to Aqmos specifications and have not been shortened.
  • Inspect valve position: Make sure the valve fully returns to service position after regeneration. If not, inspect the cam, motor, and piston for binding.
