Possible Causes

Blocked brine drain line, Stuck brine float, Leaking refill valve in Foridra head, Clogged injector

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Place the unit in bypass and unplug it. Prepare for possible overflow; use a wet/dry vacuum if needed.

  • Check brine float: Ensure the float moves freely and shuts off water at the correct level. Clean or replace if stuck.
  • Inspect brine drain: Verify the brine drain line is not kinked or blocked. Flush it thoroughly.
  • Clean injector: Remove and clean the Foridra brine injector and associated passages.
  • Refill valve check: If water continues to enter the brine tank when idle, the refill valve in the Foridra head may be leaking and require a seal kit or head replacement.
