Possible Causes
Shortened rinse cycle, High salt dosage, Restricted drain flow, Incorrect valve programming
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No hazardous work required for basic checks.
- 1. Check programming: Ensure backwash and rinse times meet RainSoft specifications for your tank size.
- 2. Inspect drain line: Verify the drain line is not restricted or undersized, which can reduce rinse effectiveness.
- 3. Adjust salt dosage: Reduce salt dose per regeneration if set higher than necessary for your hardness and capacity.
- 4. Run extra rinse: Manually initiate an extra rinse cycle to flush residual brine from the resin bed.
