Possible Causes

Stuck brine safety float, Leaking brine valve in Lindsay head, Clogged drain line causing backflow, Incorrect refill setting

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and close the inlet valve. Use a wet/dry vacuum to remove excess brine if needed.

  • Check safety float: Lift the float; it should stop water flow when raised. Clean or replace if it sticks.
  • Inspect drain line: Ensure the drain hose is clear, not kinked, and has an air gap at the drain to prevent backflow.
  • Verify refill time: Adjust the brine refill time in the controller to Lindsay’s recommended value for your salt dosage.
  • Replace leaking brine valve: If water continues to enter the brine tank when it should not, replace the internal brine valve or piston assembly.
