Possible Causes

Loose brine line connection, Air being drawn into injector, Low brine level causing air draw, Improper drain line routing siphoning air

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and close the inlet valve if opening the valve body.

  • Check brine level: Ensure the brine tank has sufficient water during brine draw so the brine line does not suck air.
  • Inspect brine connections: Tighten all brine line fittings at the control head and brine well to prevent air leaks.
  • Verify injector seals: Remove and inspect injector and associated O-rings. Replace any damaged seals.
  • Bleed air: After repairs, slowly open faucets throughout the home to purge trapped air from the lines.
