Possible Causes

Cracked fiberglass tank, Damaged tank threads, Over-pressurization, Impact damage to tank

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.
