Judo
Installation / Plumbing Misconfiguration
Judo softener installed but no water flows through it at all in service mode
Advertisements
Possible Causes
Inlet and outlet connections reversed, Bypass valve closed, Isolation valves closed, Blocked inlet strainer or debris in valve
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Close main water supply before altering plumbing. Depressurize by opening taps.
- Verify flow direction: Check the arrows on the Judo valve body and ensure the house supply is connected to the inlet and the house system to the outlet.
- Check bypass and isolation valves: Confirm the bypass is in Service position and both inlet and outlet valves are fully open.
- Clean inlet strainer: Remove and clean the inlet strainer if clogged.
- Bypass test: Place the unit in bypass. If water flows, the blockage is inside the softener and may require valve head service.
