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.
