How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the floor is dry to prevent slips.

  • Step 1 – Confirm condensation: Wipe the tank dry and observe if moisture forms evenly over the surface (condensation) versus a localized leak.
  • Step 2 – Improve ventilation: Increase airflow in the area with a fan or dehumidifier.
  • Step 3 – Insulate tank: Wrap the resin tank with an insulating jacket or foam wrap designed for water softeners.
  • Step 4 – Check for actual leaks: If water appears at fittings or seams, refer to leak troubleshooting instead.
