What to do if Pentair Control Unit softener fails to use salt?
- S
  Sarah Peterson MDSep 10, 2025
  If your Pentair Control Unit softener fails to use salt, start by cleaning the drain line and/or flow control if they are plugged or restricted. Then, clean or replace the injector and screen if the injector is plugged. Check for any restrictions in the Brine Line Flow Control (BLFC) and ensure the safety float is not stuck if there's no water in the brine tank. Make sure the line pressure is at least 1.4 bar. Inspect the brine line for air leaks if it's injecting air during brine draw. For an internal valve leak, call a dealer to check the piston, seals and spacers for scratches and dents.

  To address excessive water in the brine tank or salty water to service from your Pentair Control Unit, start by checking the flow to the drain and clean the flow control if plugged. Also, inspect the brine valve for dirt or damage, cleaning or replacing it as necessary. Additionally, clean the injector and replace the screen if it's plugged. Ensure the inlet pressure is at least 1.4 bar for proper injector performance, and if the timer isn't cycling, consider replacing the controller.

Why does my Pentair Water Filtration System have a loss of capacity?
- W
  whitesarahSep 1, 2025
  A loss of capacity in your Pentair Water Filtration System can be attributed to several factors. Increased raw water hardness may be the cause; if so, reset the unit to the new capacity. Ensure the brine tank is full of salt at all times and clean it yearly to maintain proper brine concentration and quantity. Salt may be bridged. If you're using a salt grid plate, make sure the refill water is above it.
