Possible Causes
Worn rotor seals in Judo valve head, Cracked internal valve body, Loose drain or brine fittings that only see pressure during certain stages
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and close inlet/outlet valves. Be prepared for water discharge when opening lines.
- Observe during regeneration: Start a manual regeneration and watch the valve head, drain, and brine connections closely during each stage to pinpoint when the leak occurs.
- Check fittings: Tighten drain and brine fittings that leak only under backwash or brine pressure.
- Inspect valve head: If water seeps from the seam of the valve head or around the rotor shaft, internal seals are likely worn. Replace or rebuild the Judo valve head assembly.
