Possible Causes

Blocked injector nozzle, Air leak in brine line, Stuck brine valve, Insufficient water pressure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power and close inlet valve before servicing the injector or brine line.

  • Check water pressure: Ensure inlet pressure meets Idrobase minimum requirements. Very low pressure can prevent brine draw.
  • Inspect brine line connections: Tighten all compression fittings and check for cracks in the tubing that could admit air.
  • Clean injector: Remove the injector nozzle and throat from the valve. Soak in descaling solution and clear any deposits. Do not enlarge the orifices.
  • Check brine valve: Verify that the brine valve opens during the brine draw stage. Clean or replace if stuck.
  • Test draw: Place the brine line in a bucket of water and run a manual brine draw. If water is not drawn, further inspect the valve internals.
