Possible Causes

Cracked brine tank, Loose brine line fitting, Leaking brine well or safety float, Overflow due to stuck refill valve

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and close the inlet valve. Salt water is corrosive; protect nearby surfaces.

  • 1. Inspect tank walls and bottom: Look for visible cracks or seams leaking. If the tank is cracked, it must be replaced.
  • 2. Check brine line connections: Tighten compression nuts at the brine well and control valve. Replace ferrules if they are deformed.
  • 3. Examine safety float: Ensure the float assembly is not leaking at its seals and that the overflow fitting (if present) is properly routed to a drain.

When to call a technician: Replacement of the brine tank or safety float assembly may be required.
