Why Autotrol Control Systems will not draw brine?
- DDerrick HillAug 17, 2025
If your Autotrol Control Systems won't draw brine, it could be due to several reasons. Check if the water pressure is low, and if so, set the pump to maintain 20 psi at the softener. A restricted drain line could also be the cause, so change the drain to remove any restrictions. Additionally, the injector might be plugged, requiring you to clean the injector and screen, or the injector might be defective, necessitating a replacement. Ensure that valve discs 2 and/or 3 are closed and free of foreign matter. Also, verify that the timer locking pin is horizontal. If the air check valve closes prematurely, momentarily put the control into brine/slow rinse; replace or repair the air check if needed.
