Possible Causes

Stuck brine valve in open position, Leaking brine valve seat, Clogged brine line preventing draw but allowing refill, Faulty brine float assembly

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Place the softener in BYPASS and unplug power. Be prepared to remove excess brine to prevent overflow damage.

Steps to correct overfill:

  • 1. Remove excess brine: Use a wet/dry vacuum or bucket to remove water down to normal level.
  • 2. Inspect float assembly: Remove and test the Aquasana brine float; ensure it shuts off water flow when lifted. Replace if it does not seal.
  • 3. Check brine line and injector: Clean the injector and ensure the brine line is clear so that brine can be drawn out during regeneration.
  • 4. Inspect brine valve: Internal brine valve components in the control head may be leaking. Replace the brine valve assembly if overfill recurs.
