    Water Softener Trouble Shooting,

    I cannot put 10 ft of plumbing in between that room isn't even 3 ft big. Im not too too worried about the warm water, my water doesn't get that hot. But might put a temperature regulator inbetween for the future, Im guessing that was the cause of the deterioration in the first place. But I will...

    Water Softener Trouble Shooting,

    what are the repercussions of just setting the damn float lower and being done with it, ie at 8"-9" of water. Because at 50 dollars roughly shipping wait times etc, I could get a 460i timer thats metered and would bring my overall cost on the system to about 300 which isn't THAT bad. All things...

    Water Softener Trouble Shooting,

    Gary to the rescue! I did check the ball in the drain line flow that is there because I found a ball on the ground. Now I had 2 other autorol's open at the time so I figured it was out of one of them. And that was the reason for checking the drain ball. The salt dial my memory is somewhat...

    Water Softener Trouble Shooting,

    If you look at the link it will confirm its clean. I took all check balls, out and cleaned except aircheck. The ball in the aircheck never comes down and rinses fine. Everything works fine. The brine refill is just too fast -- I dont know why it fills the water so fast. Now if I forgot to put it...

    Water Softener Trouble Shooting,

    Not an airleak, just refills way too much water, and brine-ing stage is fine draws for entire time of the timer. just adds too much water before brine slow rinse about 4 inches, and then during fast refill usually will max it out (float will trigger inside brine tank) or on second regen that...

    Water Softener Trouble Shooting,

    Read all three posts before post. :) It draws fine for a bit then drops, before tanks empty. But nothing is clogged in the Brine assy. But after a regen the assy will lift (partially) float. I pop the top cap open and it sinks again. Sounds like air somewhere just not sure where if its on the...

    I should shove a ball in the drain right? And fill it to an inch and see water escapes. Why do you want to see a picture of the flood test? I have another problem, I've silicone everything and only have one small leak in the corner @ glass frame no biggy. But because of the awesome design (not)...

    Thanks for the reply, the only walls that are not mine are: top and bottom, and far 5ft wall that runs parallel to the 'lip'. I will lay durock over the 2x4 and also lay it with membrane. I have seen this and I know its not standard practice it will suffice. But just for next time what is the...
