Possible Causes

Clogged inlet screen on Watersoft valve, Partially closed inlet valve, Whole-house sediment filter plugged, Failing well pump or pressure tank

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Turn off water and relieve pressure before removing screens or filters.

  • Check household pressure: Open a cold faucet and observe flow. If weak throughout the house, investigate well pump, municipal supply, or main shutoff valves.
  • Inspect inlet screen: Remove the Watersoft valve inlet fitting and clean any debris from the inlet screen or filter basket. Rinse thoroughly and reinstall.
  • Check pre-filters: Replace any clogged sediment or carbon filters installed ahead of the softener.
  • Verify valves: Ensure the main inlet valve and any isolation valves are fully open and not partially closed.

After restoring normal pressure, clear E17 and run a manual regeneration to confirm proper operation.
