Possible Causes

Low household water pressure, Clogged inlet sediment filter, Failed pressure sensor (if equipped), Partially closed inlet valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off power before removing any covers. Water pressure may be present.

  • Check household pressure: Verify that other fixtures in the home have normal pressure. If not, the issue is upstream of the softener.
  • Verify inlet valve: Ensure the AquaSoft inlet valve is fully open and the bypass is in the correct position.
  • Inspect pre-filter: If a sediment filter is installed before the softener, replace the cartridge if it is clogged.
  • Check pressure sensor: On models with a pressure sensor, inspect the sensor body and wiring. Remove the sensor and check the sensing port for debris. Clean gently and reinstall.
  • Replace sensor: If E17 persists with known-good pressure, replace the AquaSoft pressure sensor.
