This is a last ditch effort to save my softener. I really hate it when I cant figure something out like this.
What I need from those who know is what to look for through each step of the process in order to troubleshoot.
I have changed the media, new piston parts, drain line parts etc. every little part I can think of. The unit from what I can tell is going through its cycle but it just doesnt seem to be softening. Almost as if the brine isnt flushing the media but it seems to be sucking water from the brine. Is it taking enough? I dont know. Oh and mechanical timer is cycleing fine. Even doing a manual regen doesnt seem to help. I am waiting on a test kit to come so I can see if I am only getting a small amount of softening/ cleaning of the media. At this time this is my educated guess, but only a guess untill test kit arrives. This unit has a 9" media tank. Any words of wisdom????
Thanks All
