Kinetico flooding

[big dripper]

THank you for your help guys - I had to give in and call an engineer and am now £150 poorer.
The hose was split, and the fact that it was and that the vacuum was not maintained after the overflow caused the machine to not regenerate ????
Anyway - all fixed - hopefully I will be enjoying softened water again soon.

Thanks again

Oh - and the water pressure in the daytime at the outside tap was 95 - he recommended that I fit a pressure control valve....... but wants a further £150..... not much chance of that then!!

Which hose was it? Can you describe it? Could you have replaced yourself?

Andy, she said it was the brine line that was split on her Kinetico softener and it wouldn't regenerate.

That is just way too funny Just like being back in high school all over again

Yeah I couldn't figure out how he couldn't remember what she had said before, especially (IIRC) when he had asked her about what "hose" before and she answered him... Maybe he didn't graduate.

We're talking about a 3/8 line vs a 3/4 or even 1"inlet/outlet. There is no way for a 3/8 line to rob enough water to prevent the unit from starting a regen. If that were the case, anytime the unit was in a fill cycle, the customer would not have water flow in the home.

As we see now the split prevented the regeneration as I said was possible and you said it wouldn't;
