Hello all
Wednesday morning I heard a trickling sound. Looked in the room and water was trickling out the overflow spout.
Opened the brine tank and the water was at the top
A funny thing though. The white tube from the conditioner was not attached to the float assembly (not sure if it is supposed to be; lived there less than a year, system came with the house, and only ever opened the tank to dump salt in it so never paid attention to whether or not it was attached. It has a 90 degree elbow compression fitting on it that suggests it might need to connect to the top of the float, but perhaps it is there to keep the tubing from coming out of the brine tank
One thing I will say is the white tubing was very high. What I mean is, the tubing had lots of slack outside the brine tank and the end of the tubing where the elbow fitting was was at the top of the tank. That tubing is the only thing that connects the brine tank to the conditioner so I am guessing the brine is supposed to be sucked through that tubing and into the conditioner. However, the end of the tubing was so high I am assuming part of the reason for the water build up was that it was not sucking anything out
I am due for a regen for tomorrow. I plan on shoving the tubing all the way down. Wondering if anyone knows if the elbow fitting is also supposed to attached to the top of the float assembly
I am attaching several images hoping someone has some ideas.
First pic is the water level I had to pail out.
Second is the tubing with the elbow fitting, how high in the brine well it is located, whether I should be attaching it to the float assembly or just shoving it down into the brine well further. The remaining sots are just of the culligan in case someone suggests something i can have an idea what is being spoken of.
Thanks in advance.
