About 6 months ago I changed out our brine tank with a spare clean one I had.
The brine tank has been giving me issues ever since. It doesn't seem to want to fill up with enough water at the end of the cycle and each time the softener draws water from the brine tank, it ends up sucking in some air when the brine tank runs out.
I would say the brine tank is only getting about half as much water as it needs and maybe not even that much.
I have it set to recharge every other day and I can tell when it recharged at night because we get air blasting out of the faucets. I can also hear the water traveling through the softener when someone is using water in the house because you can sort of hear the air-space at the top of the tank.
What causes this??? My brine float is set way higher than the water ever gets.
thanks,
