What causes my Pentair Water Filtration System to fail to draw brine?
- CCharles BensonSep 12, 2025
If your Pentair Water Filtration System fails to draw brine, it could be due to several reasons. A plugged drain line flow control could be the cause, so clean it. Also, check for a plugged injector or filter, and clean or replace them as needed. Low water pressure can also prevent brine draw; raise the inlet pressure to 1.8 bar minimum. An internal valve leak might be the problem, requiring you to change the seals, spacers, and/or piston assembly. Bad programming can also cause this issue, so program correctly. Finally, a power head not operating properly may be the reason; in this case, change the power head.
