Possible Causes

Communication cable between columns disconnected, One valve head without power, Column position mismatch, Defective twin control module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power to both columns before working on wiring.

  • Check power to both heads: Ensure both valve heads of the Grünbeck twin softener receive power and show a display.
  • Inspect communication link: Verify that the interconnecting communication cable between the two heads is firmly plugged in at both ends and not damaged.
  • Synchronize positions: Manually set both columns to the service position according to the service manual, then restart the system so the controller can resynchronize.
  • Test regeneration: Trigger a manual regeneration on one column and confirm that the other column remains in service. If synchronization fails again, the twin control module or one valve head PCB may be defective.
