Possible Causes
Stuck brine float, Leaking brine valve, Incorrect refill setting, Siphoning from drain
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and avoid spilling brine on electrical components.
- Inspect float assembly: Remove the brine well cover and check that the float moves freely and shuts off water at the correct level. Clean any salt buildup.
- Check brine valve: Inspect the brine valve in the control head for debris or wear that could prevent proper shutoff. Clean or replace as needed.
- Verify refill settings: In the installer menu, confirm that the brine refill time or volume is set according to the Viessmann specification for your model.
- Prevent siphoning: Ensure the drain line has an air gap and is not submerged in standing water, which can cause back-siphoning into the brine tank.
