Why is my Pentair Water Filtration System using too much salt?
Your Pentair Water Filtration System might be using too much salt due to an improper salt setting. Check the salt usage and salt setting. Another possible cause is excessive water in the brine tank; in this case, refer to the troubleshooting steps for 'Excessive water in brine tank'.
What to do if my Pentair Water Filtration System has hard water?
If you're experiencing hard water with your Pentair Water Filtration System, several factors could be the cause. First, ensure the by-pass valve is closed. Check that there is enough salt in the brine tank, maintaining the salt level above the water level. Also, the injector screen might be plugged, so clean it. Ensure sufficient water is flowing into the brine tank; check the brine tank fill time and clean the brine line flow control if it's plugged. If you have hot water tank hardness, repeated flushings of the hot water tank may be required. Check for leaks at the distributor tube, ensuring it is not cracked and inspecting the o-ring and tube pilot. Finally, there may be an internal valve leak, in which case you should replace the seals and spacers and/or piston.
How to fix loss of water pressure in Pentair Water Filtration System?
A loss of water pressure in your Pentair Water Filtration System could be due to iron buildup in the line to the water conditioner, so clean the line. Another cause could be iron buildup in the water conditioner itself; clean the control, add mineral cleaner to the mineral bed, and increase the frequency of regeneration. Also, the inlet of the control might be plugged due to foreign material broken loose from pipes, remove the piston and clean the control.
What to do if Pentair Water Filtration System fails to regenerate?
If your Pentair Water Filtration System fails to regenerate, it could be due to a few reasons. Check that the electrical service to the unit has not been interrupted by checking the fuse, plug, pull chain, or switch. If the timer is defective, replace it. If there was a power failure, reset the time of day.
Why Pentair Water Filtration System has excessive water in brine tank?
Excessive water in the brine tank of your Pentair Water Filtration System can be caused by a plugged drain line flow control, so you should clean the flow control. Another cause is a plugged injector system, thus clean the injector and screen. The timer might not be cycling, in that case replace the timer. Foreign material in the brine valve or brine line flow control can also be the issue, so replace the brine valve seat and clean the valve, and clean the brine line flow control.
How to fix Pentair Water Filtration System that won't draw brine?
If your Pentair Water Filtration System isn't drawing brine, start by checking if the drain line flow control is plugged and clean it. Also, the injector or injector screen might be plugged, clean the injector and the screen. Ensure that the line pressure is not too low; increase it to 20 psi. An internal control leak could also be the problem, change the seals, spacers, and piston assembly. Finally, the service adapter may not have cycled, check the drive motor and switches.
Why does my Pentair Water Filtration System drain flow continuously?
Continuous drain flow in your Pentair Water Filtration System can occur if the valve is not positioning correctly. Check the timer program and positioning of control, and replace the power head assembly if it's not positioning properly. Foreign material in the control can also cause this issue; remove the power head assembly and inspect the bore, remove any foreign material, and check the control in various regeneration positions. Another cause can be internal control leak, so replace the seals and piston assembly.
What causes mineral loss through drain line in Pentair Water Filtration Systems?
Loss of mineral through the drain line in your Pentair Water Filtration System can be due to air in the water system. Ensure that the well system has a proper air eliminator control and check for a dry well condition. Another cause may be an improperly sized drain line flow control. Check for proper drain rate.
Why is there iron in the conditioned water from my Pentair Water Filtration System?
Iron in the conditioned water from your Pentair Water Filtration System might be due to a fouled mineral bed. Check the backwash, brine draw, and brine tank fill. You may need to increase the frequency of regeneration and the backwash time.
Why does my Pentair Water Filtration System control cycle continuously?
A Pentair Water Filtration System control that cycles continuously is likely 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.
