Possible Causes
Insufficient rinse time programmed, Clogged injector causing improper brine draw, Drain line restriction, Internal valve not fully returning to service position
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Avoid drinking water until salty taste is resolved.
- Run extra rinse: Manually advance the Lindsay valve to the rinse stage and allow it to run longer than normal to flush residual brine.
- Check programming: Verify that the rapid rinse time matches Lindsay specifications. Increase slightly if needed.
- Clean injector and drain: Remove and clean the venturi/injector and ensure the drain line is not kinked or restricted.
- Inspect valve position: Confirm the cam and piston fully return to the service position at the end of regeneration.
