Not sure if you ever resolved this, but are you sure your unit is going though all stages of a regen cycle? Sounds like you’re getting briny water (which can be yellow or “dirty” looking depending on resin type/condition). Your regen may be skipping the rinse stage. That happened to me on a...

Cutting the hose end to get a wider diameter was a great suggestion and does work as I tried it but I’d like to add to it. I used one side of my needle nose pliers and drove it into the freshly cut end of the hose to widen it up for an even snugger fit. You can use any solid object slightly...

Hello Jlm: I replaced the 2 microswitches on my 5600sxt about 6 weeks ago. I have had no instances of short cycling since. I am pretty convinced that was the source of my problem all along. Replacing them was VERY easy and cost less than $20. If cleaning contactors doesn't eliminate your...

I replaced the two micro switches on my 5600sxt and have had two successful regen cycles with the brine tank refilled. If this is FINALLY the solution to my “short cycling” where the motor starts and quickly stops after BD without advancing the gears and pistons resulting in the cycle being out...

The issue with the motor stopping before the gears/pistons advance to next stage and throwing the system out of sequence, which I have observed, looks like a simple case of current being withdrawn from the motor (motor starts and quickly stops). I am hoping it is related to the micro switches...

Just read on another Board the term “short cycling” to describe this occurence and that the valve will always return to home/service position regardless of what goes wrong in a regen cycle.

What you have described is nearly identical to a the long term, but only intermittent problem I have had with my 5600sxt valve over the past 3-4 years. Long story short...I could never figure out why no brine refill after regen I would observe sometimes, but not all the time. I investigated...
