Discovered water wasn't soft. Here's what I've done. Disconnected brine tube from tank float, it is pulling vacuum. Stuck tube in cup of water, draws fine. Replaced the air check valve tube part on the float valve assembly, thinking that the check ball was stuck. While doing that, discovered that there was a lot of salt mush on the bottom so I emptied the brine tank completely and put in new salt. Still doesn't draw brine.
When the brine draw starts, water does flow properly into the tank for several seconds.
Softener is only a few years old. Fleck 5600SXT valve.
So now what?
