Hey guys,
I recently noticed that I havn't been using much salt and finally tested my water and realized the softener isn't doing its job. I did a manual regeneration cycle (fleck 7000sxt) and it didn't throw any errors that I'm aware of, but looking in the brine tank, the float was all the way at the bottom and it never seemed to have any water during the cycle that I could tell. I stuck a broom handle down through the salt and there was not a salt bridge.
What are the most likely problems that I should look for? I'm still searching through the forum for similar posts and it looks like cleaning the injector screen and BLFC are likely culprits? Any links to tutorials for accomplishing this? Is this on the right track?
I had tested my water with a hach test as recently as a few months ago and everything was fine, so this is a fairly recent development.
Thanks
