Softener frequently overflows drain during regeneration

Safety first: Be cautious of slippery floors and water damage. Shut off water if necessary.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. House drain capacity:
  • Ensure the softener drain discharges into a drain that can handle the flow (laundry tub, floor drain, etc.).
• 2. Drain line flow control:
  • Verify the flow control orifice is present in the drain fitting on the valve head.
  • Replace if missing or damaged.
• 3. Drain routing:
  • Ensure the drain line is properly secured and has an air gap.
