| WHAT TO CHECK |
HOW TO CORRECT |
| Is backwash water flowing freely down to
drain with an air gap and no back siphoning? |
Put valve into “Backwash”
position and follow water flow down to drain. If over 20 ft., use 3/4” (or
larger) drain tubing. Drain line should be no more than 8 ft. lift. |
| Brine salt tube and connections not
allowing salt solution into mineral tank to regenerate. |
Visually check tubing for cracks or kinks.
Check fittings for proper assembly and tightness as diagrammed. |
 |
| Injector or injector screen plugged. |
Put softener in by-pass
position and de-pressurize the unit by putting into “Backwash” position.
There will be 2 screws on neck of valve near where the salt rinse line
goes into softener. Remove the 2 screws, clean screen and remove any
chunks of salt, etc. |
