Possible Causes

Failed O-rings on plumbing adapters, Cracked control valve body, Loose plumbing connections, Damaged bypass seals

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Immediately shut off water to the softener and place it in BYPASS. Unplug the unit. Water leaks can cause electrical hazards and property damage.

  • 1. Dry and inspect: Wipe the area dry and observe where water reappears to pinpoint the leak source.
  • 2. Tighten fittings: Gently tighten threaded or quick-connect fittings on the inlet/outlet and bypass. Do not overtighten plastic parts.
  • 3. Replace O-rings: If leaks persist at adapter joints, replace the O-rings with Rayne-approved seals.

When to call a technician: Cracked valve bodies or bypass assemblies require replacement of major components.
