Possible Causes

Plugged inlet/outlet screens, Fouled resin bed, Partially closed bypass or shutoff valves, Undersized plumbing connections

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off water and relieve pressure before removing any fittings.

  • 1. Compare in bypass: Place the Rayne bypass in BYPASS. If pressure improves, the restriction is inside the softener.
  • 2. Clean inlet/outlet screens: Remove plumbing adapters and rinse any screens or filters at the control valve ports.
  • 3. Check valves: Ensure inlet and outlet valves are fully open and the bypass is fully in SERVICE when testing.

When to call a technician: Severe resin fouling or internal valve blockage may require media replacement or valve rebuild.
