Possible Causes

Hot water backflowing into softener, Incorrect plumbing (softener installed on hot line), Failed temperature sensor, Bypass check valve failure

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Hot water in a softener can damage internal components. Use caution when touching plumbing.

  • 1. Verify plumbing: Confirm the Rayne softener is installed on the cold water supply line only. If connected to hot, correct the plumbing immediately.
  • 2. Check for backflow: Ensure check valves or mixing valves are functioning and not allowing hot water to migrate backward into the softener.
  • 3. Inspect temperature sensor: If equipped, check the sensor wiring and mounting. Replace if visibly damaged.

When to call a technician: Internal damage from hot water may require replacement of resin, seals, or the entire valve assembly.
