Possible Causes

Air drawn into brine line, Loose brine line fittings, Low water level in well causing air ingestion, Air check malfunction

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Air in lines is usually not dangerous but can cause splashing; open faucets slowly.

Brine system check:

  • Inspect brine line fittings for looseness that could allow air to be drawn in during brine draw.
  • Check the air check valve at the bottom of the brine well for proper operation.

Well system:

  • If on a well, have the well pump and pressure tank checked for air ingestion issues.

Resolution: Tighten or replace brine fittings and ensure the air check closes properly. Persistent air issues may require a plumber or well specialist.
