Water2Buy Residual Brine in Service Water

Water from the Water2Buy softener has a salty taste after regeneration

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Insufficient rinse time, Blocked drain flow control, Internal valve leakage between brine and service ports, Overly high brine concentration

Safety first: Do not consume salty water. Bypass the softener until resolved.

Increase rinse time: In the controller, extend the rapid rinse stage to flush more thoroughly.
Clean drain path: Remove and clean the drain flow control and hose to ensure full flow during rinse.
Check brine concentration: Ensure you are using the correct salt type and not adding additional salt additives that could increase salinity.
Valve inspection: If salty taste persists, internal valve seals may be leaking and the head may need to be rebuilt or replaced.
