How to fix loss of water pressure in my First Sales XTS30 Water System?
- P
  Patricia ThomasAug 7, 2025
  If you're experiencing a loss of water pressure with your First Sales Water System, it could be due to a couple of reasons. First, the softener might be too small for your application, so check your application requirements and resize the water softener if needed. Alternatively, there might be a buildup of foreign material in your plumbing system or the water softener itself. In this case, clean or replace the plumbing as necessary. Additional treatment equipment may be required.

What to do if my First Sales XTS30 softener fails to regenerate?

  If your First Sales Water System softener isn't regenerating, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check that the unit has continuous electrical service by checking the switch, circuit breaker, and plug. It could also be due to a faulty timer motor or micro switch, or a defective drive motor or micro switch which would both need replacing. Also, there might be an improper unit configuration, such as a meter cable being unplugged (FSM) or no tabs pushed outward on the skipper wheel (FS).

What causes loss of resin through drain line in First Sales Water System?

  Losing resin through the drain line in your First Sales Water System can occur due to two main reasons. One potential cause is air in the water system, which can be checked by looking for low water table conditions in the well. Another reason could be that the drain line flow control is too large. Make sure the proper drain line flow control is installed.

How to remove iron from softened water in First Sales XTS30?

  Lauren GarnerAug 27, 2025
  If you have iron in the softened water from your First Sales Water System, it could be because the iron levels exceed recommended parameters or iron bacteria is present. You should test the incoming water supply and install an OXY Series iron filter prior to the softener, if needed. Another possibility is iron-fouled resin. To address this, check and lengthen the backwash, brine draw, and brine fill times. You might also need to increase the frequency of regeneration and use a resin cleaner in the brine tank.

Why is my First Sales Water System softener delivering hard water?
- A
  Anna FordNov 1, 2025
  Your First Sales Water System might be delivering hard water due to several reasons. The bypass valve could be open, so ensure it is closed. The brine tank might be empty, or the salt could be bridged; verify that the salt is not bridged and add salt, maintaining the level above the water line. Injectors or screens could be plugged, requiring cleaning or replacement. There might be insufficient water flowing into the brine tank, so check the fill time and clean the brine line flow control. Other potential causes include a leak at the distributor tube, requiring a check of the tube's length and the pilot tube o-ring; an internal valve leak, necessitating replacement of the piston and seals/spacer kit; or an obstructed flow meter, which needs cleaning. Also, ensure the softener is regenerati...
