How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Immediately shut off water and depressurize the system. A leaking pressure vessel can fail catastrophically.
- Confirm source: Dry the tank and inspect for hairline cracks or weeping at the base or sidewall.
- Do not attempt repair: Do not patch or glue a pressurized resin tank. It must be replaced.
- Replace tank: Have a qualified technician transfer the Lindsay control valve and resin to a new, compatible pressure tank, or replace the entire softener if the tank is aged.
