Hi Guys,
Got what I'd call a standard water softener set up, cation ion exchange column, separate salt tank. Noticed water wasn't as soft as it should be and found that the safety valve in the column in the salt tank was stuck in the up (or closed?) position. I assume in this condtion I won't get brine to the unit. I freed it up by pushing with finger, did a regen and found it was stuck in the up position again. Any thoughts on what could cause this? Water level in salt tank might be too high which pushes the float up or maybe some other issue. Any thougts are appreciated.
Mike
