How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Immediately bypass the softener and depressurize the system. A deformed tank can rupture and cause injury.
Steps to address a bulging tank:
- 1. Depressurize: Turn off water supply, open a faucet to relieve pressure, and keep the softener in bypass.
- 2. Inspect drain and plumbing: Ensure the drain line and downstream plumbing are not blocked.
- 3. Do not reuse damaged tank: Replace the SpringWell mineral tank and inspect the control valve for damage.
- 4. Verify operating pressure: Confirm your system pressure is within SpringWell's specified limits and install a pressure regulator if necessary.
