I don't know much of the history of the unit because of purchasing the house in December 2019. I removed all salt and cleaned the brine tank in June 2020. Since then, I have not experienced any salt loss and notice my water is hard(er). Toilet has rings in water level and the shower experience with soap is not soft water that I'd expect. I now removed all salt again. I let the system cycle a manual recycle but notice the water level is below half of what I see on the brine well chamber. Which is way below the water level for the float inside the brine well to be triggered. I left that water in the brine tank and poured in 3 gallons of hot water and manually recycled the system. It did not bring the water level up to the shut off valve. NOTE: I am not sure if the absence of salt is an issue in the brine tank. So this being the 3rd (ish) time manually recycling the unit I filled the brine tank up to the point where the float is engaged or triggered/lifted. Currently I am waiting to see what that will do and I am 30 minutes into this manual recycle.
I did pull out the brine valve float control from the brine well and inspected the screen at the bottom and did not *see* anything out of place or obvious issue. That I did right before the current recycle.
What am I missing? Is this possibly the Brine Valve Float Control? When I removed the salt in June I also checked the injector screen. Due to not knowing history of the unit and that was an issue with a previous house system. All looked great.
BTW: I am on a sand well, not city water.
