Possible Causes

Loose mounting of softener, Flexible hoses under tension, Rapid valve cycling, Air in system

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Do not loosen any pressurized fittings without first isolating and depressurizing the system.

  • Check mounting: Ensure the Viessmann softener is level and stable on the floor, with no rocking.
  • Inspect hoses: Verify that flexible hoses are not twisted or under tension. Re-route or support them as needed.
  • Bleed air: Open several taps in the house to purge air from the system after any maintenance.
  • Secure pipes: Add or tighten pipe clips near the softener to reduce movement during flow changes.
