Salt level in the brine tank does not go down over time, even though the unit appears to regenerate.

Safety first: Wear gloves and eye protection when breaking salt bridges.

Check for salt bridge:

• Probe the salt bed with a broom handle to detect hollow spaces under a hard crust.
• Break up any salt bridge and remove large chunks if necessary.

Verify water in brine tank:

• After a regeneration, there should be a specific water level in the brine tank.
• If the tank is dry, the brine refill is not occurring—inspect the brine valve and tubing.

Injector and brine line:

• Clean the injector/venturi and ensure the brine line is clear and properly connected.

Resolution: Once water can enter and leave the brine tank properly, salt will begin to dissolve and be consumed. Persistent issues may indicate internal valve problems requiring professional service.
