Brine tank leaks water or brine onto the floor

Safety: Wear gloves and eye protection when handling brine. Place the unit in bypass and unplug if working near wiring.

Steps:

• Locate leak: Dry the outside of the brine tank and observe where liquid appears. Check around the base, fittings, and brine well.
• Inspect fittings: Tighten hose clamps and threaded fittings on the brine line. Replace any cracked elbows or connectors.
• Check float and overflow: Ensure the brine float shuts off water properly and that the overflow fitting (if present) is routed to a drain.
• Examine tank body: Look for cracks or splits in the plastic tank, especially near seams and corners.

Resolution: Replace damaged brine line fittings or the entire brine tank assembly if the tank itself is cracked or deformed.
