Possible Causes

Insufficient rinse time, High drain restriction, Incorrect brine concentration, Faulty check valve allowing brine backflow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Do not drink water that tastes strongly of salt until the issue is resolved.

  • Extend rinse: Increase the fast rinse time in the Hansgrohe control settings to ensure all brine is flushed from the resin bed.
  • Check drain line: Inspect and clear any restrictions in the drain line that could reduce rinse flow.
  • Verify salt dosage: Ensure salt dosage is not set excessively high for the resin volume.
  • Inspect check valve: Check the internal check valve in the brine line or outlet manifold for proper operation. Replace if it leaks or sticks.
  • Flush system: After adjustments, run several tankfuls of water through the system before using for drinking.
