Find the Serial Number printed on the inside rim of the tank, under the salt lid hinges.
Click on your Model:
First seven digits of your serial number.
Manufactured: After 03/2023
Instructions
1. Confirm your unit is not in a recharge cycle. If it is, wait to perform the following steps when the unit is done recharging.
2. Remove the top cover by following the steps below:
a. On the back of the unit, unhook the two clips that hold the cover onto the tank below (see photo). Flex/pull the cover out and away from the system at these clips.
b. There are two similar clips holding the front of the cover on as well. Slide the cover towards you to release these clips, being careful not to disconnect any wires. It is normal for the plastic cover to produce some noise as it shifts and bends.
3. Bypass the water softener by pushing the handle in on the back of your unit. This will stop water from coming in or out of the softener while you work:
4. Unscrew the ferrule nut from the elbow adaptor on the Venturi assembly. Place a bowl or towel under the adaptor to catch water:
5. Take your unit out of bypass by pulling the white handle OUT.
6. Turn on a softened water faucet in your home, and leave it running for 5-10 minutes. Then, reutrn to the unit - did water leak out of the venturi port into your bowl/towel?
a. YES; bypass the unit again. There is most likely a broken seal inside your valve head. We recommend replacing the Rotor/Seal Kit. Please Contact Us for replacement information.
b. NO; you may have an internal leak somehwere else on your system. Please Contact Us for further troubleshooting assistance.
