Possible Causes

Overly frequent regeneration settings, High salt dosage programmed, Leaking brine valve in Foridra head, Incorrect capacity setting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No major disassembly is required for initial checks. Unplug the unit before opening the valve head.

  • Review settings: Check regeneration frequency, capacity, and salt dosage on the Foridra controller. Adjust to manufacturer-recommended values.
  • Observe brine draw: During regeneration, confirm that brine is drawn and then stops at the correct time. Continuous draw may indicate a leaking brine valve.
  • Inspect brine valve: Disassemble the brine valve section of the Foridra head and inspect seals and seats. Replace worn components with a seal kit.
  • Monitor usage: After adjustments, track salt usage over several weeks to confirm improvement.
