Thanks to those that looked at my post.. I stopped by my Kinetico dealer and brought this to their attention.. About the only thing they had to offer was to call for service. Not really the response I was looking for. If you have any ideas, please let me know.

Hello all, I have an older Model 60 and had to replace layer 3 due to a broken brine fitting. I purchased the layer 3 from my local softner supply store and was able to put everything back together with no issues. When each cycle completes, it continues to leak water from the drain tube. The...

I have had the head open a couple of times and everything looked good, but im no expert. All the valves/pistons moved freely. The 2 blue check balls were in place. The 2 water turbines work correctly. The issue is very consistent and will do it with both tank change overs. Thank you for the...

Thanks for the reply,. What im getting is dark water in the house that is salty. The brine tank is fine and the water is at the proper level. What im getting during the regen, is dark brine solution that should be dumped outside of the house, im getting some inside also. Where these are...

Some additional info. When this happened last, the dark water was the brine solution if that is helpful. It was salty. Thanks

Hello all, I have an early 90's Kinetico Model 60 softener and recently replaced the control disk and metering pawl. Before doing this I use to manually regen the system daily. Now that's its running as it should, when its switching tanks and starts the regen cycle, there is dark water coming...

I was hoping to get some technical advice, but my only reply so far is from someone trying to sell me something. I posted something similar a year or so ago and didnt get much then either. If anyone has some "helpful" advice that would be welcome. Thank you!

Thanks for the reply. I know they are high priced. This one came with the house when I bought it. If its an easy fix, I will repair it. If its a bigger/expensive issue, I will consider your replacement suggestions. Since I posted yesterday, the water is not metering. The control disk has...

Hello, I have a 1993 vintage Model 60. Its been re-bed a few times, but lately a couple of issues have come up. 1. It wont change over to the next tank automatically, I have to do that manually daily. This is a non-electric model. 2. When the cycle starts, if there is any water running in...

I did find that the float switch in the brine tank was stuck. So that part has been resolved. Im not sure if that will resolve the dark water coming into the house during a cycle. My secondary problem still exists where it will not cycle when its time. Sometimes it does and sometimes I have to...

Yes it is. Its a twin tank setup. The salt level is going down.

Hello all, I have a 25+ year old model 60. It is cycling sporadic and when it runs and I get really dark water in the house during the cycle. This has been happening for a month or two. I dissembled the the head and in layer 2, there were several holes that were partially blocked. I was able...
