Possible Causes

Iron level exceeds softener capacity, Iron-fouled resin, No pre-iron filter, Incorrect regeneration settings

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Iron staining is mainly an aesthetic issue but can indicate treatment limits.

  • 1. Test iron level: Use an iron test kit or lab analysis to determine iron concentration.
  • 2. Clean resin: Use an iron-removal resin cleaner through the brine well and run multiple regenerations.
  • 3. Adjust settings: Increase regeneration frequency or salt dosage to improve iron removal.

When to call a technician: High iron levels may require a dedicated iron filter ahead of the Rayne softener.
