How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power and close inlet valve before servicing brine components.
- Check brine water level: After a regeneration, verify that the brine tank has the expected water level. If dry, refill is not occurring.
- Inspect refill line: Trace the refill line from the valve head to the brine tank. Clear any kinks or obstructions.
- Clean restrictor: Remove the brine refill restrictor or orifice from the valve head and rinse to remove scale or debris.
- Test solenoid: Measure the resistance of the refill solenoid coil and compare to Hansgrohe specs. Replace if open or shorted.
- Verify settings: In the installer menu, confirm that the brine refill time is set correctly for the resin volume and salt dosage.
