Why is there a loss of water pressure in my Ispring Water Filtration System?

  martinbrianAug 16, 2025
  If you're experiencing a loss of water pressure with your Ispring Water Filtration System, several factors could be the cause. It could be due to iron buildup in the line to the water conditioner, requiring you to clean the line. Another cause could be iron buildup in the water conditioner itself; in this case, clean the control, add mineral cleaner to the mineral bed, and increase the frequency of regeneration. Lastly, the inlet of the control might be plugged due to foreign material dislodged from pipes during plumbing work; if this is the case, remove the piston and clean the control.

  Rachel SosaAug 19, 2025
  If the drain is flowing continuously in your Ispring Water Filtration System, there are a few potential causes. The valve might not be programming correctly; in this case, check the timer program and positioning of the control, and if it's not positioning correctly, replace the power head assembly. Another cause could be foreign material in the control; if so, remove the power head assembly, inspect the bore, remove any foreign material, and check the control in various regeneration positions. Finally, there could be an internal control leak, requiring you to replace the seals and piston assembly.

  If your Ispring Water Filtration System's water conditioner fails to regenerate, it could be due to a few reasons. First, check that the unit has permanent electrical service by checking the fuse, plug, pull chain, or switch. Second, the timer might be defective, and you may need to replace it. Finally, a power failure could be the issue; if this is the case, reset the time of day.

Why is there iron in the conditioned water from my Ispring Water Filtration System?
- A
  Angela MeyerAug 26, 2025
  If you find iron in the conditioned water of your Ispring Water Filtration System, it's likely due to a fouled mineral bed. To resolve this, check the backwash, increase the frequency of regeneration, and increase the backwash time.

  John LeeAug 28, 2025
  If you're experiencing a loss of mineral through the drain line of your Ispring Water Filtration System, it could be due to a couple of reasons. One potential cause is air in the water system; ensure that the well system has a proper air eliminator control and check for a dry well condition. Another reason could be an improperly sized drain line flow control; check for the proper drain rate.

- M
  Melissa BranchAug 31, 2025
  If the control is cycling continuously on your Ispring Water Filtration System, it may be due to a misadjusted, broken, or shorted switch. Determine if the switch or timer is faulty and replace it, or replace the complete power head.

What does '2 - Regen Failure' mean on my Ispring Water Filtration System and how do I fix it?
- C
  Connie RogersSep 3, 2025
  If your Ispring Water Filtration System displays a '2 - Regen Failure' error, it means the system hasn't regenerated for an extended period (more than 99 days, or 7 days if set to Day-of-Week). To fix this, perform a manual regeneration to reset the error code. If it's a metered system, check if it measures flow by running water and watching the flow indicator. If it doesn't measure flow, verify the meter cable is connected and functioning. Also, ensure the unit is correctly configured in Master Programming Mode.

What does '0 - Cam Sense Error' mean on my Ispring Water Filtration System and how can I resolve it?
- C
  Casey RobinsonSep 6, 2025
  If your Ispring Water Filtration System shows a '0 - Cam Sense Error', it means the valve drive took longer than 6 minutes to advance. Here’s what you can do: 1. Unplug the unit and examine the power head. 2. Check that all cam switches are connected to the circuit board and working. 3. Make sure the motor and drive train are in good condition and assembled correctly. 4. Check the valve to ensure the piston moves freely. 5. Replace or reassemble parts as needed. 6. Plug the unit back in and watch it cycle to the next position and stop. If the error returns, unplug the unit and contact iSpring.
