Water has a salty taste at faucets after regeneration

Safety first: Salty water is usually not dangerous but may be unsuitable for people on sodium-restricted diets. Provide alternative drinking water until resolved.

Step-by-step:

• Flush plumbing: Run cold water at several faucets for 5–10 minutes after regeneration to clear residual brine.
• Check drain line: Ensure the AquaUnique drain line is not kinked or restricted, allowing full rinse flow.
• Adjust rinse time: In the installer menu, increase the rapid rinse time according to the manual.
• Inspect valve operation: During regeneration, observe that the valve moves through all stages and returns fully to service.

When to call a technician: If salty taste persists despite proper rinse and drain flow, the control valve may not be sealing correctly and may need professional repair.
