Possible Causes
Blocked brine refill orifice, Brine valve not opening, Incorrect refill time or salt setting, Kinked brine line
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Disconnect power and avoid inhaling salt dust when working in the brine tank.
- Check refill cycle: Observe a regeneration and confirm that water enters the brine tank during the refill stage. If not, suspect the refill circuit.
- Inspect brine line: Ensure the hose from the valve to the brine well is not kinked or blocked. Flush with warm water if necessary.
- Clean refill orifice: Remove the brine valve assembly and clean the small refill orifice and flow control. Scale or debris can block this passage.
- Verify settings: Confirm the salt dosage or refill time is set correctly for your Tapworks model and salt type.
- If no water flows even after cleaning: Replace the Tapworks brine valve assembly.
