I recently bought a house with a Fleck 9100 SXT, twin 24k grain tanks. The unit has not consumed any salt in since we moved in about a year ago, and I have finally gotten around to looking into it (newborn and toddler consume my free time).
The drain line runs just fine, I cleaned the two pieces of the injector as well as the screen, and replaced the brine line (which had a nick in it), but the system still does not draw brine. I also noticed that the brine fill is extremely short, just a few seconds long, even though the setting in the controller for BF is set to 7, which I assume is minutes.
I noticed something quite odd. During backwash, the cams are in a specific position. The digital controller then advances to the 60 minute brine draw and rinse, but cams do not advance at all. Later in the cycle, when the cams do advance through the rest of the rotation, there IS suction on the brine line for a few seconds, and then it stops after the cams get past the small land that triggers the brine valve. I assume the system should be advancing onto that small land and then dwelling there for the 60 minute brine draw and rinse phase, but instead it sits BEFORE that land for the full 60 minutes. Any thoughts on what's going on?
