I'm new here and actually only signed up to ask a question. If I've posted in the wrong area or this has been answered, my apologies.
I have a rain soft gold series water softener system. The system is maybe 14-15 years old. I replaced the media in both the resin and the carbon tanks myself in may of 2013. I have had to rebuild the piston valve maybe three times now. I've replaced the plastic yoke valves (leaking) once, I do this work myself, because I am not adverse to paying to have the work done, just the charges that the rain soft dealer wants to charge combined with what I see as not being very knowledgeable, I don't see the value. A knowledgeable person in my area at reasonable rates and they can have all the work!
Now for my problem. It appears that my system is leaking. It is the smaller tank (resin) and as best I can tell it is from where the head screws into the bottle This just started occurring. There has been no trauma to the unit and it is in a garage, where, although not climate controlled, does not encounter freezing conditions. I'm finding it highly hard to believe that the thick plastic bottle would suddenly crack, but figured I'd ask. Do the tanks themselves decay over time and need replacing?
