Ecowater Europe Flow Restriction Through Softener

Softener causes noticeable drop in water pressure at taps during normal use

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

Clogged inlet/outlet screens, Resin bed fouled or compacted, Undersized softener for flow demand, Partially closed bypass or isolation valves

Safety: Depressurize before removing any screens or fittings.

Check valves: Ensure the Ecowater bypass and isolation valves are fully open in service mode.
Clean screens: Remove and clean inlet and outlet screens or filters on the valve body.
Backwash performance: Confirm that backwash flow is strong; weak backwash may indicate a clogged bed.
Resin service: If pressure drop persists, the resin bed may be fouled or compacted and require professional cleaning or replacement.
