I have a 2060 dual tank kinetico system made in 2008. I'm trying to see if the unit is operating correctly as it appears my post-softened water seems a bit salty than normal. I broke down the control head today, save the gear assemblies on the very top of the unit. After inspection and cleaning everything seemed to be normal in that all the seals and gaskets seemed good and there was minimal to no visible wear on the components. Onto my questions:
First, I read on the forums here that bad resin can lead to salty water, can anyone second that information?
Secondly, during the stage that the Kinetico is pulling the brine from the tank, is that process supposed happen all at once or incrementally? I only ask because it seems like the system is vigorously pulling the brine for roughly 1-2 seconds then it stops. Though the unit continues to make noise as if water is moving through the system, I no longer see the brine level drop. It will however start pulling the brine at least a couple more times before the backwash cycle begins. So, does this operation sound normal for this system?
Thanks for your help!
