    Why is my Puratech 5100 not producing soft water?
    • T
      Thomas CastilloAug 18, 2025
      There are several reasons why your Puratech Water Dispenser might not be producing soft water: * The bypass valve may be in the Bypass position. Place the bypass valve in the Service position. * The appliance may be plumbed backward. Check that the appliance is plumbed correctly. * There may have been an extended power outage. Reset the time of day. * The water hardness may have increased. Re-test the water and re-enter a new setting number. * The appliance might not be metering water. Flow should be indicated with water usage. If there is no flow, further inspection is needed.

    What to do if my Puratech 5100 Water Dispenser stays in regeneration?
    • J
      John PhillipsAug 21, 2025
      If your Puratech Water Dispenser remains in regeneration, consider the following: * Ensure the controller is properly attached by pushing it all the way onto the drive end cap. * The magnet disk may be defective, requiring replacement. * A foreign object might be present in the main control valve; remove any such objects. * The valve assembly could be broken with the motor running, necessitating repair of the drive end cap.

    What to do if my Puratech 5100 shows no flow when water is flowing?
    • B
      bcunninghamAug 26, 2025
      If your Puratech Water Dispenser shows no flow even when water is running, it could be due to: * The bypass valve being in the Bypass position. Switch it to the Service position. * The appliance being plumbed backward. Verify and correct the plumbing. * The sensor not receiving a signal from the magnet on the turbine. Remove the sensor from the bypass housing and test it with a magnet on either flat side. If flow is indicated, check the turbine. If no flow is indicated, replace the sensor.

    Why is there excess water in the brine tank of my Puratech 5100 Water Dispenser?
    • W
      William RobertsAug 28, 2025
      Excess water in the brine tank of your Puratech Water Dispenser can be caused by: * A drain line that is pinched, frozen, or restricted. Straighten, thaw, or unclog the drain line. * A plugged brine line, brine line flow control, or air check/draw tube. Clean the flow control, air check/draw tube, and brine line. Also, clean any sediment from the brine tank. * A plugged injector assembly. Clean or replace the injector. Replace the throat if removed.

    Why is my Puratech 5100 regenerating in the wrong sequence?
    • C
      Christopher StewartAug 31, 2025
      If your Puratech Water Dispenser isn't regenerating in the correct sequence, it could be due to: * A defective magnet disk, which would need to be replaced. * A defective controller, which would also need replacement.

    What to do if my Puratech 5100 Water Dispenser display has no read-out?
    • A
      Angela StoneSep 7, 2025
      If there is no read-out on your Puratech Water Dispenser display, check the following: * Ensure the electric cord is plugged in. * Verify there is electric power at the outlet, ensuring it's not controlled by a switch. * Test the transformer with a voltmeter for 12 VAC at the control. If it's less than 10 VAC, replace the transformer. * If 12 VAC is present at the controller, the circuit board may be defective, and the controller should be replaced. * High ambient room temperature can cause the display to blank out if it exceeds 120°F (49°C). No action is necessary as this does not affect the controller's operation.

    What to do if my Puratech 5100 indicates flow when water is not being used?
    • C
      Charles MyersSep 10, 2025
      If your Puratech Water Dispenser indicates flow even when water is not in use, it is likely that the household plumbing system has a leak. Repair the leak to resolve this issue.

    Why is my Puratech 5100 not producing soft water after regeneration?
    • S
      Sarah WilliamsNov 14, 2025
      Your Puratech Water Dispenser might not be producing soft water after regeneration due to several reasons: * There may be no salt in the brine tank, so you should add salt. * Sediment in the brine tank may have plugged the brine line and air check/draw tube. Remove the brine line and flush it clean. Remove the air check/draw tube and flush it with clean water. Clean the injector assembly and any sediment from the brine tank. * The flow control could be plugged. Remove the brine piston housing and clear debris from the flow control. * The drain line might be pinched, frozen, or restricted. Straighten, thaw, or unclog the drain line. * The injector assembly could be clogged. Remove the injector cap and clean the nozzle and throat with a wooden toothpick. Replace the throat if remo...
