Softener causes a salty taste in the cold water after regeneration

Safety: Do not drink water that tastes strongly salty until the issue is resolved.

• Check programming: Verify that the fast rinse time is set to the Cillit recommended value. Increase slightly if necessary.
• Inspect injector size: Ensure the installed injector matches the model specification. An oversized injector can cause excessive brine draw.
• Check drain flow: Confirm that the drain line is not restricted, allowing full rinse flow.
• Run extra rinse: Manually start a regeneration and add an extra fast rinse cycle to flush residual salt.
