How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately place the AquaHouse softener in BYPASS and unplug it. Mop up spilled water to prevent slip hazards.
Step-by-step:
- 1. Remove excess water: Use a wet/dry vacuum or bucket to lower the brine tank water level.
- 2. Inspect safety float: Remove the brine well cover and test the float's movement. Clean any salt sludge and ensure it shuts off water when raised.
- 3. Check brine draw: If brine is not being drawn during regeneration, water will accumulate. Clean the AquaHouse injector and verify brine line integrity.
- 4. Examine brine valve: With the system depressurized, inspect the brine valve assembly in the control head for debris or worn seals. Replace the AquaHouse brine valve kit if leaking.
- 5. Test regeneration: After repairs, run a manual regeneration and monitor the brine level to ensure it rises and then returns to normal.
