Hi Everyone - I've been trying to troubleshoot some issues in our house that I think have been related to water softener and water tank. Namely somewhat lower water pressure than we used to have possible sediment build up in our water tank and pipes due to hard water which is affecting...

New house, they installed a Marlo water softener. I opened the brine tank and appears they didn't put any salt in. Lots of water in there, is that normal? Kinda smelled too. We are on a well. I just threw a bag of salt in and hope that was a good choice.

Howdy folks, My house was built on a concrete slab in Cali in the late 90's. Copper pipes all run through the slab and stub upwards inside the walls. Water heater and water softener are plumbed in the garage right next to each other, using 3/4" pipe. Right next to the water heater, about 18"...

Several years ago a no name softener was installed for a rental, a 740/760 Control 255 and Performa Series Valves Operations Manual was left with the tenant. The single retired tenant wasn't using enough water to trip the regen function as it was configured. The service came back out to...

I am preparing to install a water softener in a recently built home and trying to figure out the best option for discharging the water softener. Long term I would like to run a separate drain line through the basement wall to discharge below the house. For now I am thinking of discharging it...

I just installed my water softener and now the water has a musty smell like an old towel. Here's the story. We moved to a new house in 2016 and the water softener is actually from my old house that we took apart and moved with us. We finally got around to installing it and filled it up with salt...

Hey everyone. So I got this water softener in my apartment and it was working fine for over a year. A couple weeks ago, I noticed it started leaking from the top. I've talked to a couple of friends and was advised to check the rotor valve, which I did - it seems fine. I am puzzled now - what...

HI. I've got a new water softener that I have yet to install. It's going in the garage on a wall that backs up to kitchen. There is no outlet yet, just a light switch. In the garage also is a upright freezer and occasionally a air compressor. The compressor only gets plugged in to air tires and...

Hi all, I have a whirlpool water softener in which the brine tank and resin tank are together. I just recently replaced all the old salt as it was one solid block and put in 3 bags of new solar salt. The salt level is now sitting at the just below the number 5. I followed the manual verbatim...

Guys, I'm planning on installing a whole house water softener. I have a spot in my garage with good access to the incoming water pipe which makes for a good install location, but there's no drain there. The otherside of the wall immediately next to the install location has a drain (a bathroom...

I have not had my water professionally tested, but I have a major iron bacteria problem. I need a recommendation for a water softener , the most reasonably priced. I live in an old house, just me. Very little water is used every day, like one 10 minute shower a day, the toilet a few times...

I currently have a Hague water softener installed below my electrical panel. The unit was sandwiched between a large well pressure tank and the electrical panel, but only sat about 3' high. I'm replacing it with a 10x54" Clack controlled system. To simplify the plumbing I'd like to install...

The home I purchased came with a whole house filter/softener system. Problem is there are no manuals and I have not been able to find any helpful information. I have basically been winging it. The system consists of 2 canisters that are silver in color and a container that looks like a slim...

I have an Kenmore water softener that's at least 8 years old. It's been working fine until a couple of weeks ago. Water was hard and I noticed that the brine tank was half full of water. I found some instructions and videos on cleaning the softener, specifically the venturi as well as other...

I don't have a lot of experience with home repairs or plumbing, but I recently bought a GE 30,000 grain water softener, and after reading the manual thoroughly and talking to the associate at the hardware store, decided to install it myself. Overall, the project was pretty successful, with one...
