Possible Causes

Brine tank completely out of salt, Severe salt bridging, Brine tank overflow and flush-out, Disconnected brine line

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Use gloves when handling salt. Avoid breathing dust from poured salt.

Step-by-step checks:

  • 1. Refill salt: If the brine tank is empty, add several bags of appropriate water softener salt. Avoid rock salt or products with high insoluble content.
  • 2. Break and remove bridges: If a hard crust is present with little salt below, break the bridge and remove large chunks. Ensure loose salt is in contact with water at the bottom.
  • 3. Verify brine line connection: Confirm the brine line is securely connected to both the Marlo valve brine fitting and the brine well in the tank. Tighten compression fittings as needed.
  • 4. Force a regeneration: After correcting salt issues, initiate a manual regeneration to recharge the resin bed.

When to replace parts: If the NoSalt indication is from a sensor and it remains active despite proper salt level, replace the Marlo salt level sensor.
