RainSoft Resin Loss into Plumbing

Visible resin beads appear in household faucets and aerators

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Cracked bottom distributor, Broken top basket, Overfilled resin tank, Excessive backwash flow rate

Safety: Bypass and depressurize the system before removing the valve or opening plumbing.

1. Confirm resin presence: Inspect faucet aerators and strainers for small amber or yellow beads.
2. Inspect internal distributors: Remove the control valve and check the top basket and bottom distributor for cracks or missing sections.
3. Replace damaged parts: Install new RainSoft distributor and top basket assemblies.
4. Check backwash rate: Ensure the drain flow control is the correct size for your tank to prevent resin lift-out.
