Display shows a brine-related error code and unit aborts regeneration

Safety first: Unplug the softener and shut off water. Place the unit in bypass.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Inspect brine float:
  • Remove the brine well cover and lift out the float assembly.
  • Check for salt buildup preventing free movement.
  • Clean with warm water and ensure the float moves smoothly.
• 2. Check brine refill port:
  • Inspect the brine valve and refill port on the valve head for debris.
  • Clean or replace the brine valve assembly if clogged or damaged.
• 3. Inspect brine line:
  • Check for leaks or loose fittings at both ends of the brine line.
  • Replace cracked or brittle tubing.
• 4. Test regeneration:
  • Reassemble, restore water and power, and run a manual regeneration.
  • If the error persists, replace the brine valve assembly or control board as indicated by further diagnostics.
