Possible Causes

Cracked brine tank, Loose brine line fittings, Damaged brine float assembly, Overfilling due to stuck refill valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the softener and avoid standing water around electrical outlets.

  • Inspect brine tank: Look for cracks near the bottom or around fittings. If the tank is cracked, replace the brine tank.
  • Check fittings: Tighten or replace compression or push-fit fittings on the brine line. Replace any brittle or cracked brine tubing.
  • Float assembly: Remove and inspect the brine float assembly for damage or misadjustment that could cause overfill. Replace if necessary.
  • Refill valve: If the brine tank overfills during regeneration, service or replace the brine refill valve in the Autotrol head.
