Softener causes noticeable drop in water pressure throughout the house

Safety first: Place the unit in bypass before disassembling any connections. Relieve pressure at a tap.

• Compare in bypass: Put the Nobel softener in bypass and check water pressure at a tap. If pressure improves significantly, the restriction is within the softener.
• Clean screens: Remove and clean inlet and outlet screens or strainers at the control valve. Rinse away sediment.
• Check valves: Ensure inlet and outlet valves are fully open and the bypass valve is fully closed during normal operation.
• Resin fouling: If pressure remains low through the softener, the resin bed may be fouled. A professional can perform a resin cleaning with specialized cleaners or replace the resin.
