Possible Causes

Cold softened water in warm humid environment, Lack of insulation, High regeneration frequency keeping tank cold

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Condensation itself is not dangerous but can cause slip hazards and corrosion.

Steps:

  • Improve drainage: Ensure the softener is installed where condensation can drain safely or be collected.
  • Insulate tank and lines: Use foam insulation sleeves on exposed pipes and consider an insulating jacket for the mineral tank.
  • Reduce humidity: Improve ventilation or use a dehumidifier in the area.
  • Check regeneration frequency: If the unit regenerates excessively, adjust settings to reduce unnecessary cycles, which keep the tank colder.

Note: Distinguish between condensation and actual leaks by drying surfaces and observing where water reappears.
