How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit and avoid standing in water while working on electrical parts.

  • Inspect brine tank: Dry the exterior and look for fine cracks or salt stains indicating seepage.
  • Check overflow: Ensure the brine tank overflow fitting and hose (if equipped) are properly connected and routed to a drain.
  • Secure drain line: Tighten the drain line connection at the Waterguy valve and verify the hose is not backing up.
  • Monitor during regen: Observe a full regeneration cycle to see when water appears.
