How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Do not drink water that tastes strongly of salt until the issue is resolved.
- Run extra rinse: Manually start a regeneration and allow it to complete, then run a further manual rinse cycle if available.
- Check drain flow: Ensure strong, unrestricted flow from the drain hose during rinse stages.
- Review settings: Confirm that rinse durations match Harvey’s recommended values.
- Test hardness and taste: After flushing, test water hardness and taste. If salty taste persists, internal valve seals may be leaking.
Persistent salty water usually indicates an internal valve fault that should be addressed by a Harvey service technician.
