On 2017-03-21 by (mod) - signs of a control head problem on a Fleck softener

Svend

That sounds like a stuck control head on the Fleck unit itself, but yes I'd start by pulling and inspecting and cleaning the float valve in the brine tank.

On 2017-03-21 by Svend - Water keeps flowing into the Brinetank non stop.

I have a problem with my Fleck5600sxt.

After regeneration process the Water keeps flowing into the Brinetank non stop. Is it the Brinevalve I have to replace?

On 2017-02-15 by (mod) -

Nope, not unless the salt is falling down into the brine tank float tube - there it could jam and block the brine tank float.

The salt man who brings the salt to our home filled our tank for us to the very top we have never filled it that full Will there be a problem now that it is too full of salt. It is at the very top?

On 2017-01-29 by Andrew Budwill

My system is (listing two models as they are identical):

MacCLEAN: MCWS150MEJ

Aqua-pure: CWS150MEJ

Brine tank is full and the safety float.

Venturi is clear, drain is clear. Took off all the various elbows and looked for blockages, found none. Drained the brine tank, removed the salt. Didn't find any salt bridges. Took the opportunity to clean out the tank. Put it all back together.

When the unit is in the regen cycle the brine tank actually gets filled up for the entire cycle! (Or until the safety float gets triggered). I was under the impression during the brine cycle the salty water was sucked out of the brine tank and put into the resin tank to clean the resin.

Any thoughts about what might be going on? Is this type of issue ever caused by a pad piston or spacer?

Note that the system does backwash properly (which is the first cycle in my regen process)

Vac

I don't know what "fine vacuum salt" is, but certainly salt tablets or crystals (certainly not fine) are what's recommended by water softener manufacturers. Either of those products are ok to use. A finely-ground salt would not work properly in a water softener and risks over-salting and clogging or equipment damage.

I have seen fine vacuum salt used in the brine tank. What would be your recommendation of forms of salt, Tablet or fine?

Tom I'm not aware of any motor in the Sears Kenomore Ultrasaoft 480 water softener. Perhaps your spell checker was at work here. There are various O-rings and seals in the control head and valves for this water softener. Or you can call Sears repair service at (1-800 469 4663 ) for in-home repair, or you can call Sears Parts to get what you need (after consulting the owners manual) at 1-800-488-1222. If you don't have the owners' manual for the Ultrasoft 480 let me know via our page bottom CONTACT link and I can send that to you.

If the softener is going through a regen cycle every hour you are wasting water, wasting salt, and if you're on a private septic system, you're flooding the drainfield, risking a sewage backup into the home.

I would leave the system off, on BYPASS, unplugged, and call for repair.

On 2016-03-26 22:10:55.951250 by Lucie

That didn't work. Other than the noise is it doing any harm/damage if I leave it?

TUrn the unit off, unplug it. Wait 10 minutes. That may reset the control. Plug it in and be sure the clock is properly set. IF the problem continues you'll need to call for repair.

how much water should be in the brine tank

On 2015-11-02 23:06:08.612788 by (mod) -

The ability of the softener to send water to a remote tank and receive brine from it over distance and lift is limited: yypical softener installation instructions do permit the brine tank to be a bit higher than the softener (never below it or salt brine will siphon from the softener). And some softeners can push water (using house pressure just fine) from a basement softener to a first floor brine tank provided.

All of the water softener installation instructions we've reviewed (about 30) say "locate the brine tank near the softener". Most don't give exact distances. To me this means from "next to" (1-3 feet) to perhaps a maximum of about 15 ft. away. The brine tank also needs to be readily accessible for loading salt, cleaning, etc.

So I'm doubtful about your horizontal distance of 35 ft.

I'd call the manufacturer of your specific brand and model water softener if you don't see brine tank location specs in the installation manual.

Diana, your salt tank sounds as if it's got too much water - or else your salt level must be near the tank bottom in which case just add salt.

You can also send the softener through an extra regen cycle (see the control panel and the article above) to see if it seems to be working. In the article above you'll see a sketch and discussion of the "Brine Refill Control" that you'll find in your salt tank.

Usually if there is too much water (above the top of the salt in the tank) either

• The level of salt in the brine tank is too low - and is near the bottom of the tank - add salt

or

• The brine control float switch is stuck.

I don't usually expect the water conditioner control itself to be at fault, though I guess that's possible too.

On a conventional water softener the brine refill control is basically a float-operated valve that opens or closes a water supply valve that allows water to enter the salt tank.

The float mechanism can get stuck due to caked on salt, due to someone pouring salt inside the plastic shroud that is intended to allow the float and switch to move freely up and down ad water level rises, or due to mechanical damage. I'd start by taking a look at the float assembly to see if its parts are moving freely.

Sometimes I can just grasp the upper end of the vertical float rod and manually move it up and down a few times to free one that's stuck.

Better, but more trouble, is to completely empty and clean out the salt tank and then remove, clean, and reassemble the brine level control assembly. Details about the float control in brine tanks are found in the article above

Question: I don't see a brine control valve and the water softener brine tank is too full of water. What should I check?

I did as you suggested and emptied and cleaned out the water conditioner brine tank, I notice that there is nothing in the tank except a 1/4 inch line for water and that is it,

When I put it all together again it fill up to 3/4 full again and the salt was all submersed. In other words, my water softener brine tank does not seem to include

a BRINE REFILL FLOAT CONTROL VALVE.

What else should I try.

Reply:

Our photo above both shows the water softener brine tank in normal condition. My buddy Mark K. (page to photo) has poured salt pellets into the brine tank to a safe level that does not risk pellets falling into the brine tank float assembly should its cap be removed.

The smaller round cylinder in this salt tank contains the brine float control assembly. If your salt tank does not have this component the water entry quantity and salty water dose quantity for a water softener regeneration cycle may not be properly controlled.

An accurate diagnosis of what's wrong with your water softener depends on the particular model water softener and what controls it uses.

When we find that the brine tank on a water softener or water conditioner system seems to be too high, or the tank is flooded, there are several things to check. An accurate diagnosis of what's wrong with your water softener depends on the particular model water softener and what controls it uses.

Question: water softener not working - diagnose the trouble?

(Feb 19, 2014) Bruce said:

My softener stopped softening the water 2 months ago. The unit is about 18 years old. I replaced the resin, cleaned the valve head, poured 3 gallons not water into the brine tank with iron out and manually regenerated many times.

The water gets soft for a few days but then isn't. It's using salt normally, the valve timer is working but still won't keep the water soft.

The only thing I haven't done is disassemble and clean the brine tank. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Reply:

Bruce,

Check the float assembly to assure it's not stuck and check the salt dose setting against the measured hardness of the incoming water supply;

Reader follow-up:

Thanks, the float assembly looked fine. I soaked the basket in Ironout just in case and blew it out, seems clear. The salt setting was at 3 lbs which seems rather low so I bumped it up to 13 lbs.

The last water test was pH 5.8 / Iron 3.0ppm / Hardness 20 grains per gallon. What setting do you recommend for that iron level? Again, your help is really appreciated.

Reply:

The separate

article WATER SOFTENER SALT DOSE SETTING discusses salt dose and regen cycle settings - which you can look at but you'll want to set your particular softner salt dose and regen cycle frequency per the instructions for your particular brand and model to get it just right.

I don't know about softener setting for iron level - which is a secondary feature to softener settings for hardness; I'd be glad to do some research but let's start with the instructions for your unit. What is the brand and model? (And you have the instructions for it?)

How much water should be in the brine tank after a full regeneration? I'm starting to wonder if the air check ball is stuck or for some reason, the correct amount of brine water is not being created.

Reply:

Indeed there are usually a few inches in the bottom of the brine tank, but in normal conditions you won't see it: the brine solution will be covered by salt.

Two checks to make: check for a stuck brine tank float; check for salt bridging or crusting

- check that the float assembly travels freely and is not stuck - most brine tanks control water entry and exit quantity by a float operated switch.

- poke at the salt in the tank; salt can form a crust that makes it look as if there's plenty of salt in the tank while actually there may be nothing but hollow space below the crust.

Reader follow-up:

There is about 3-4" of water but the float sits about 5-6" above the water line while in service mode. Does the water go up that high during regeneration?

Doesn't seem like it does at all. Further to that, I opened the air check where the brine tank hose attached expecting to find a ball but there wasn't one. I understand that the all floats when water is in there and close up the line when the brine water runs out.

But there was no ball. Also, my air check looks different than the ones I see pictured, it's flatter than taller. I can send a pic if that's possible. Thanks again, you are very helpful, I appreciate it,

Reply:

Bruce, I'm not sure, not even knowing what softener you have, but generally the float controls the quantity of water that enters the brine tank - as you probably see, water enters, causes the float to rise until it shuts off the incoming water; time is given to dissolve salt; then salty water is pumped back out of the brine tank and through the softener to do the regen.

If you want to experiment, with no salt in the tank, so you can see what's going on, use the softener controls to request an extra or manual regen cycle. Watch the brine tank. You should see water enter, the float rise, the float stops rising and presses against a mechanical switch that stops water entry. (The float level is adjustable on many softeners and should be set per the manual).

As the cycle continues you should see the salty water pumped back out of the unit and the water level drop.

Even before that observation it should be possible to GENTLY lift the float rod and let it drop back into position. The float should move freely up and down. Sometimes floats get stuck as salt cakes or falls into the tube protecting the float assembly.

Thanks, I understand exactly what you wrote. The valve is an Autotrol 255/440 from 1996.

Right now, I've the water soft but not sure how long it will last. It's soft because 2 days ago I add 3 gal hot water to the brine tank and did a manual regen. I'm wondering if enough water is getting into the brine tank. Is the float valve itself subject to failure commonly?

The float moved the valve freely up and down but that doesn't mean the valve is opening fully, right? Maybe I should watch a full cycle to see if the water rises during the brine creation cycle.

That air check w/o a ball also is bothering me since everything I read on the 255 says there should be a plastic ball in there. Also, I read that air leaks could impact brine flow.

Reply: shocking the well won't help a clogged water softener

If the water filter clogs in just a few days I'm doubtful that shocking the well is going to do much for it - you'll need to

- find and (ick) fix a leaky cracked damaged well casing or well piping
- install a larger capacity water filter

Reader Jim added:

Look for an air leak at the check valve or brine tank line; possibly an air leak at the backwash control,

Reader follow-up:

Yeah Dan, I think you're on the right track there unfortunately but I'll give it a couple days.

Thanks , I'll look for the leak, still not sure why there is no ball in the air check. Thought that was required for it to work.

Question: water softener beeping and says "sending help"

(Mar 27, 2014) David Ashby said:

my water softener won't stop beeping. And the screen reads " SENDING HELP "

Reply:

David,

Well that's one I've not heard before. "Sending help"? You didn't mention the brand and model - which would let us (or you) check the owners' manual.

For example Culligan Gold water softeners include a beeper that can be turned on and off and indicates button activity as well as an "alarm" mode.

Your unit needs repair or service.
YOu might try "tapping" on the control motor to see if you can get it going again for a time but I'm not optimistic that even that free-up would be a lasting repair. The motor is accessible by removing the front plastic cover on some water conditioners.

On Rain Soft water softeners you may be able to re-set the alarm. If you have that brand or most others you can obtain a manual from the company's website, and we also have some on file.

This sounds as if the water softener is sending debris from the brine tank OR actual resin from the softener out with the house water supply. You could try emptying and sanitizing the brine tank (articles here describe how to do that).

But I suspect it's a resin problem - which means it's time to call your local water conditioner company to take a look at the equipment. I'll do some further checking and comment further as well.

IF water doesn't drain out of the brine tank most likely a control valve or check valve is stuck and needs cleaning or replacement. Start by checking the float valve in the brine tank.

Question: brine tank float control seems to work and shut off but I hear water running

(Nov 17, 2014) Anonymous said:
Having read the comments around Brine tank not draining. I played with the float valve and it apparently stops the in-flow (interestingly ,just about 1/4 inch above the overflow drain)and pushing down on it shows that it does float back up. However, when in operation,

I can hear the discharge water going out the drain hose, but it doesn't seem to be coming from the brine tank...suggesting that its just flushing in-coming water from the well right thru the softener and out to waste.

Next step would be checking the valve within the brine tank (which I assume is the same valve used to fill the brine tank).

If water goes in this route (the tank is full) then water should be coming out unless its pulled some sediment over the in-flow.

I've tried moving the bottom of the float tube around in case there was sediment blocking the in-flow/out-flow. I haven't pulled the hose assembly off the main tank as I can hear a full flush going thru the system.

Reply:

Indeed that sounds surprising - and as if there is a bypass in effect. I suspect that though the float moves the actual valve is sticking or is debris-clogged. See if you can disassemble and clean that part.

Your water softener is not sending water into the brine tank; typically there is a control head failure or something simpler such as a crimped or clogged feeder tube between the softener brine tank and the softener controls, OR the brine tank float is stuck and won't admit water.

Yes either turn off the water softener or put it in bypass as sending more water into the brine tank will cause it to overflow or just send water out of its overflow drain.

Question: Kenmore Ultrasoft 150 water softener sometimes does not work

(May 31, 2015) Jennifer said:

I have a Kenmore Ultrasoft 150 water softener that softens the water sometimes but not others. I know that I have a very frequent problem with the salt clumping up into a hard rock, but I can't figure out why. It's been suggested that I use less salt, so I have it below the water level now, but the water is hard more often than ever now. Just read salt should be above the water, so I will try that again, but expect more clumping then. I've been running all diagnostics I can find online and have a question about the float. When regenerating, during the fill cycle, water is entering the brinewell, but the float doesn't seem to rise.

During the brining cycle, water drains, but I don't see a drop in the brinewell because it never really went up. I know most people have problems with too much water in their tanks... do I have an opposite problem?

Should the float be rising to the top and stopping the water flow on my model? The fill time seems to be controlled by a timer, not the float stopping (but I haven't watched it the whole time... should I??) Thanking you in advance for any insight. I've been so frustrated with this softener for years but I don't think anything major is wrong with it.

Reply:

Compare the hardness of your water supply with the softener salt dose and regeneration cycle frequency settings.

Then check for a "salt bridge" that is causing salt to fail to drop down to mix with the water in the brine tank.

Reader Question: water softener brine tank not draining

Water softener has water stuck in tank, not draining. - Amy 9/19/11

Reply:

Amy, at WATER SOFTENER BACKUP, FLOODING, LEAKS we describe how to diagnose & fix a water softener that is not draining properly. Typically the problem is a crimped drain line, a control not operating properly, or a stuck brine control float that is not allowing the regen cycle to function properly.

Scott, possibly the float control valve in the brine tank needs cleaning, or the whole tank is due for a cleanout.
