Brine tank overfills with water after regeneration

Safety: Unplug the unit and place it in bypass. Wear gloves and eye protection when working around brine.

Steps:

• Check float operation: Remove the brine well cover and lift the float. Ensure it moves freely and shuts off water when raised. Clean any salt or sludge that may prevent sealing.
• Inspect brine valve: On the valve head, locate the brine refill valve or solenoid. Check for debris or damage that could prevent it from closing fully.
• Verify settings: Confirm the brine refill time or salt setting is not programmed excessively high for your system.
• Drain excess brine: Manually remove excess water from the brine tank using a wet/dry vacuum or siphon to prevent overflow.

Resolution: Replace the brine float assembly if it does not shut off reliably. If water continues to enter the brine tank when it should be off, replace the brine valve assembly on the control head.
