Water has a salty taste after the SpringWell softener regenerates.

Safety: Do not drink water that tastes strongly of salt until the issue is resolved.

Steps to eliminate salty taste:

• 1. Increase rinse time: In the programming menu, increase the rapid rinse duration per SpringWell recommendations for your tank size.
• 2. Check drain line: Ensure the drain line is not restricted or kinked, allowing full rinse flow.
• 3. Inspect brine valve: Rebuild or replace the SpringWell brine valve / injector assembly if it is leaking brine into service after regeneration.
• 4. Adjust salt dose: Reduce the salt setting to a level appropriate for your hardness and capacity, following SpringWell's sizing chart.
