How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: If cracks are near pressurised components, isolate water immediately.
Step-by-step checks:
- 1. Inspect crack location: Determine if the crack affects the brine tank only or also the resin vessel or plumbing.
- 2. Relieve stress: Ensure pipework is properly supported and not pulling on the cabinet.
Cracked structural components should be replaced; consult Scalemaster or a technician for cabinet or tank replacement.
