What to do if my Pentair Water Pump fails to regenerate?
If your Pentair Water Pump isn't regenerating, first ensure it has continuous electrical service by checking the fuse, plug, pull chain, or switch. If the power supply is OK, the timer might be faulty and need replacement. Also, check if there was a power failure and reset the time of day.
Why is my Pentair Water Pump using too much salt?
If your Pentair Water Pump unit is using too much salt, you should first check the salt usage and salt setting to make sure it is properly set. Also, excessive water in the brine tank can cause this issue. Refer to the section that addresses 'Excessive water in brine tank'.
What to do if Pentair Control Unit fails to regenerate?
If your Pentair Control Unit fails to regenerate, there are a few potential causes. First, ensure the unit has a permanent electrical service by checking the fuse, plug, pull chain, or switch. A defective timer could also be the issue, requiring replacement. Finally, check if there was a recent power failure, and if so, reset the time of day.
Why is my Pentair Water Pump softener failing to draw brine?
If your Pentair Water Pump softener isn't drawing brine, start by cleaning the drain line flow control. Next, clean the injector and the injector screen, as these are common culprits. Ensure that the line pressure is at least 20 psi. If the issue persists, there might be an internal control leak, requiring you to change the seals, spacers, and piston assembly. Finally, check the drive motor and switches to see if the service adapter did not cycle.
Why is my Pentair Control Unit producing hard water?
If you're experiencing hard water with your Pentair Control Unit, several factors could be the cause. Ensure the bypass valve is closed. Check the brine tank and add salt, maintaining the salt level above the water. Inspect and clean the injector screen. Verify sufficient water flow into the brine tank and clean the brine line flow control if it's plugged. If you have a hot water tank, repeated flushing might be necessary. Examine the distributor tube for cracks and check the o-ring and tube pilot. Finally, an internal valve leak could be the culprit, requiring replacement of seals, spacers, and/or the piston.
How to restore water pressure in Pentair Control Unit?
If you're experiencing a loss of water pressure with your Pentair Control Unit, it could be due to a few reasons. Iron buildup in the line to the water conditioner or within the conditioner itself can cause this issue; clean the line and add mineral cleaner to the mineral bed, also increase the frequency of regeneration. Additionally, the inlet of the control might be plugged due to foreign material; remove the piston and clean the control.
What causes excessive water in brine tank of Pentair Control Unit?
If there's excessive water in the brine tank of your Pentair Control Unit, start by cleaning the drain line flow control. Also, clean the injector and screen, as a plugged injector system can cause this. If the timer isn't cycling, replace it. Foreign material in the brine valve or brine line flow control can also be responsible; replace the brine valve seat and clean the valve, and clean the brine line flow control, respectively.
Why Pentair Control Unit not drawing brine?
If your Pentair Control Unit isn't drawing brine, several issues could be the cause. Start by checking and cleaning the drain line flow control, injector, and injector screen for any blockages. Ensure the line pressure is at least 20 psi. An internal control leak may also be the problem, requiring you to change the seals, spacers, and piston assembly. Finally, check the drive motor and switches to ensure the service adapter is cycling correctly.
Why does my Pentair Control Unit use too much salt?
If your Pentair Control Unit is using too much salt, first, check the salt usage and salt setting to ensure they are properly configured. Also, check for excessive water in the brine tank.
What to do if Pentair Control Unit drain flows continuously?
If the drain is flowing continuously in your Pentair Control Unit, it may be due to the valve not programming correctly; check the timer program and positioning of the control, and replace the power head assembly if it's not positioning properly. Foreign material in the control can also cause this; remove the power head assembly and inspect the bore, removing any foreign material and checking the control in various regeneration positions. Finally, an internal control leak could be the issue, requiring replacement of the seals and piston assembly.
