What causes continuous drain flow in my Pentair Water Dispenser?
Continuous drain flow in your Pentair Water Dispenser can be caused by: * Foreign elements in the valve. Clean valve and check it in the different regeneration positions. * Internal valve leak. Change seals & spacers and/or piston assembly. * Defective or blocked motor. Change motor and check gear teeth. * Power head not operating properly. Change power head.
What to do if there is too much water in the brine tank of my Pentair Water Filtration System?
If there's too much water in the brine tank of your Pentair Water Filtration System, start by cleaning the drain line flow control. Also, clean the injector and screen, replacing them if necessary, as a plugged injector system might be the cause. A faulty brine valve could also be responsible, so consider changing it. Ensure that the system is correctly programmed. A controller that is not cycling can also cause this issue, so replace the controller. Finally, check for any foreign material in the brine valve or brine line flow control; replace the brine valve seat and clean the valve, or clean the brine line flow control, respectively.
Why does my Pentair Water Filtration System have excessive salt consumption?
Excessive salt consumption in your Pentair Water Filtration System can be due to a few reasons. Primarily, check the brine refill setting to ensure it's properly configured. Also, too much water in the brine tank can lead to excessive salt usage, so refer to the troubleshooting steps for that specific problem. Finally, incorrect programming can cause this issue, so make sure the system is programmed correctly.
What causes a Pentair Water Filtration System to fail to draw brine?
If your Pentair Water Filtration System fails to draw brine, several issues could be responsible. Start by checking and cleaning the drain line flow control, as it may be plugged. Also, inspect the injector and/or filter for blockages, cleaning or replacing them as needed. Low water pressure can also prevent brine draw, so ensure the inlet pressure is at least 1.8 bar. An internal valve leak might be the cause, requiring you to change the seals, spacers, and/or piston assembly. Incorrect programming or a malfunctioning power head could also be the issue, requiring you to program the system correctly or change the power head.
Why is there salted water in the service line of my Pentair Water Filtration System?
If you're experiencing salted water in the service line of your Pentair Water Filtration System, it could be due to several factors. A plugged injector and/or filter can cause this issue, so clean or replace them. The power head might not be operating properly, requiring a replacement. Check for foreign material in the brine valve or brine line flow control, and replace the brine valve seat and clean the valve, or clean the brine line flow control. Low water pressure can also be a cause, so ensure the inlet pressure is at least 1.8 bar minimum. Finally, incorrect programming can lead to this problem, so program correctly.
What causes iron presence in the valve of my Pentair Water Dispenser?
Iron presence in the valve of your Pentair Water Dispenser may be caused by: * A dirty resin bed. Check backwash, brine draw, and brine refill. Regenerate more often and increase backwash cycle time.
What causes resin loss through the drain line in my Pentair Water Dispenser?
Resin loss through the drain line in your Pentair Water Dispenser can occur due to: * A missing or broken top distributor. Add or replace the top distributor. * Air in the water system. Ensure the presence of air check system in the brine tank. * An improperly sized drain line flow control. Size the drain line flow control correctly.
Why is my Pentair Water Dispenser softener failing to draw brine?
If your Pentair Water Dispenser softener isn't drawing brine, check the following: * Clean the drain line flow control if it's plugged. * Clean or replace the injector and/or filter if they're plugged. * Raise the inlet pressure to 1.8 bar minimum if the water pressure is low. * Change seals & spacers and/or piston assembly if there's an internal valve leak. * Program correctly if the programming is bad. * Change the power head if it's not operating properly.
Why is my Pentair Water Dispenser delivering hard water?
Your Pentair Water Dispenser might be delivering hard water due to several reasons: * The by-pass valve may be open, so ensure that you close it. * There might be no salt in the brine tank. In this case, add salt to the brine tank and maintain the salt level above the water level. * The injector and/or filter could be plugged. Try cleaning or replacing the injector and/or filter. * There might be a leak at the distributor hose. Check the o-ring and make sure the distributor tube has no cracks. * The meter could be blocked, so try cleaning or changing it. * The meter cable may be disconnected or faulty. Check the connections in the power head and on the meter cover and change the cable if needed. * The programming might be bad. Program correctly.
Why does the controller on my Pentair Water Filtration System cycle continuously?
If the controller of your Pentair Water Filtration System cycles continuously, the power head might not be operating properly, so consider changing it. A faulty microswitch or wiring loom could also be the cause, requiring you to change the microswitch or wiring loom. Additionally, a defective or badly set cycle cam can cause this issue, so reposition or change the cycle cam.
