Possible Causes
Clogged brine refill flow control, Brine valve not opening, Refill time set too low, Air leak preventing proper refill
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Shut off water and relieve pressure before removing valve components. Unplug power.
- Observe refill: During the brine refill stage, check if water is entering the brine tank. No flow indicates a refill problem.
- Clean flow control: Remove the brine refill flow control and clean any debris. Ensure the orifice is not blocked.
- Check valve operation: Inspect the brine valve or solenoid for movement during refill. Replace the Pentair brine valve assembly if stuck closed.
- Adjust settings: Increase the brine refill time or salt dose in programming to achieve the correct brine volume for your resin size.
