Hello all
For a little while I had sand pumping from my well throught the watersoftener in the house. I put in a filter in between the pump and the tank so the sand does not go through the softener and in the house anymore.
The problem afterwards was that when the softner was on, the pressure in the house dropped. So I was thinking that the softener had some problems and got damaged when the sand was passing through.
I disconnected the softener and took all the salt out and cleaned it out completely.Also cleaned the venturi nozzle.
I re-connected it and put new salt in but still the pressure drops.
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be?
Is the resin tank damaged because there is sand in there that restricts the waterflow throught the tank?
When I bypass the softener I have plenty of pressure so the filter that I put in between did not affect the pressure at all.
Any ideas suggestions are welcome
