Brine tank fills with water and does not drain after regeneration, leaving very high water level.

Safety first: Unplug the unit. Brine is corrosive; wear gloves and eye protection.

• Step 1 – Inspect drain hose: Follow the drain line from the valve to the drain. Straighten kinks and ensure there are no high loops that trap air.
• Step 2 – Check drain termination: Ensure the air gap or standpipe is not blocked. Clear any buildup.
• Step 3 – Clean drain fitting: Shut off water and relieve pressure. Remove the drain fitting at the valve and clear any debris or scale.
• Step 4 – Test flow: With the drain line disconnected from the drain, run a manual regeneration and verify strong flow from the hose into a bucket.
• Step 5 – Replace hose if needed: If the hose is internally collapsed or scaled, replace with a new GE-compatible drain hose.

Warning: Secure the drain hose to prevent it from whipping during high flow.
