What causes poor water quality in my Pentair Water Filtration System?
Poor water quality from your Pentair Water Filtration System may be due to an open bypass valve; ensure it is closed. Channeling can also cause this, so check for service flow that is either too slow or too high, and inspect for media fouling. Finally, verify that the mixing is set correctly.
Why does my Pentair Water Filtration System have a loss of water pressure?
A loss of water pressure in your Pentair Water Filtration System can occur due to scaling or fouling of the inlet pipe. Clean or replace the pipeline and consider pretreatment to prevent future occurrences. Fouled resin can also cause this issue; clean the resin and pretreat to prevent it from happening again.
What to do if my Pentair Water Filtration System has excessive water in the brine tank and/or salty water to service?
If you notice excessive water in the brine tank or salty water being delivered, there might be a plugged drain line. Check the flow to the drain and clean the flow control. Another possible cause is a dirty or damaged brine valve, which should be cleaned or replaced. Also, inspect the injector for any blockages; clean the injector and replace the screen if necessary. Ensure that the inlet pressure is at least 1.4 bar to allow the injector to function correctly. Finally, if the timer isn't cycling, consider replacing the controller.
Why does my Pentair Control Unit water softener fail to regenerate automatically?
If your Pentair Control Unit softener fails to regenerate automatically, ensure it's connected to a constant power source. Check the meter cable for disconnections or faults, reconnecting or replacing it as needed. If the power cord is defective, replace it. Also, examine the controller, meter, or sensor for defects and replace or repair them. Finally, verify that the unit is programmed correctly.
