Culligan Brine Tank or Fitting Leak

Water leaks from the brine tank or around the brine well

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Cracked brine tank, Loose brine line fitting, Damaged safety float assembly, Overflow from stuck refill

Safety: Place the softener in bypass. Unplug the unit if water is near electrical outlets.

Locate leak: Dry the outside of the brine tank and observe where water appears—at the bottom seam, around the brine well, or at the brine line connection.
Tighten fittings: Snug the brine line nut at the brine tank and at the valve head. Do not overtighten plastic fittings.
Inspect tank: If the tank itself is cracked or leaking at the bottom, replacement of the brine tank is required.
