Possible Causes

Faulty safety float, Brine line siphoning back, Incorrect drain connection, Brine valve not sealing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power and close inlet valve. Avoid electrical contact with standing water.

  • Stop overflow: Remove excess water from the brine tank with a pump or container.
  • Check safety float: Ensure the float moves freely and shuts off water when raised. Replace if it does not seal.
  • Inspect brine line routing: Ensure the brine line rises above the brine tank water level before connecting to the valve to prevent siphoning.
  • Drain connection: Confirm that the drain line has a proper air gap and is not submerged in standing water, which can cause backflow.
  • Brine valve seat: Clean or replace the brine valve seat and seals if they are worn or fouled.
