First off I have a kenmore water softner I know they suck but have had it for 10 years.
My first question is mine was not regenrating right not filling enuf or draining enuf turned out to be dirt in the venture valve. works fine now. My question is are all the cycles on the regeration controled by timer like the fill and drain cycle the first two. I thought it would fill till float reached top then drain untill it reached the bottom. But that seems to be not the case. So are they controled by timer and float is just a safety stop incase the timer malfunctions?
Second question mine has not been recharging right for I dont know how long maybe 2 months at the longest. Should I force it to recharge a few nights in a row to extra clean it or does it not work that way?
One more question my mom has same water softner and hers will not drain all water out of brine well like two inches left in bottom mine leaves very little water in bottom maybe 1/2 inch. But hers seems to be working fine and I dont see that it will hurt anything do you. Hers must not drain as fast as mine and timer stops it before it is at bottom.
Thanks gary for your help you knowledge of softners precides you.
