Softened water has a salty taste after regeneration

Safety first: Avoid drinking water that tastes excessively salty until the issue is resolved, especially for individuals on sodium-restricted diets.

Step-by-step checks:

• 1. Check programming: Verify that the salt dosage and rinse times are set according to Marlo specifications for your resin volume.
• 2. Inspect drain line: Ensure the drain line is not restricted or elevated beyond recommended height, which can reduce rinse effectiveness.
• 3. Clean injector and drain ports: A partially clogged injector or drain can reduce rinse flow. Remove and clean these components.
• 4. Run extra rinse: Manually advance the unit to a rinse cycle and allow an extended rinse to flush residual brine.

When to replace parts: If the injector is incorrectly sized or damaged, replace it with the correct Marlo injector kit. Persistent issues may require adjusting to a lower salt setting or consulting Marlo for proper sizing.
