How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Bypass and depressurize before opening the valve head.
- Check refill setting: In programming, verify that the brine refill time is not set to 0 minutes.
- Inspect refill flow control: Locate and remove the brine refill flow control (often a small button or orifice). Clean any debris and reinstall.
- Test brine valve movement: Manually move the brine valve (if accessible) to ensure it opens during refill. Replace the brine valve assembly if stuck.
- Observe refill: Start a manual regeneration and watch the brine tank during the refill stage to confirm water enters the tank.
