Possible Causes
Shortened rinse cycle, high salt dosage, restricted drain flow, incorrect valve programming.
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No hazardous work is required for basic checks.
- 1. Check programming: Ensure that backwash and rinse times meet RainSoft specifications for your tank size.
- 2. Inspect drain line: Verify that the drain line is not restricted or undersized, which can reduce rinse effectiveness.
- 3. Adjust salt dosage: Reduce the salt dose per regeneration if set higher than necessary for your hardness and capacity.
- 4. Run extra rinse: Manually initiate an extra rinse cycle to flush residual brine from the resin bed.
