Hello, lately I realized I wasn't getting any soft water from my GE GXSF27E01 and when I went to look at the salt level in the brine tank I saw it had gone down to just about 6" from the bottom. I thought it odd that pellets would still be visible if they should've all dissolved to make brine and I should've therefore had soft water, but there were still some in the slurry that I saw, together with a little tan-colored residue, probably from using pellets instead of solar salt. I got industrious and emptied out the tank and rinsed it and sucked out all pellets and water with my shop vac, poured in one 40# bag of Morton's System Saver II pellets and ran a cycle. No luck. Another cycle. No luck. I thought maybe the nozzle/venturi is clogged so I took that apart and everything looked good. I ran another cycle with the covers off and witnessed the water coming up in the brine tank, then going down, the valve advancing through the steps, and water coming out of the drain at the appropriate times. Once it stopped at "service" I ran some cold water only for a while then checked by washing my hands but still no soft water. What should I check next? The unit was purchased back in '03 and I rebuilt the valve with a new seal kit back in '11 and it's been running fine since. Thanks for the help in advance.
