Troubleshooting tips and frequently asked questions for Kent Water Softeners.
Troubleshooting tips
If the water feels hard or you notice scale buildup, check the salt level in the brine tank. Replenish with high-purity salt pellets if it's below one-third full, and manually initiate a regeneration cycle.
For low water pressure after the softener, inspect the bypass valve to ensure it's fully open. Also, check the inlet and outlet connections for kinks or blockages, and clean the sediment filter if present.
If the softener is not regenerating, verify that the power supply is connected and the timer is set correctly. Try unplugging the unit for 30 seconds and plugging it back in to reset the control valve.
When water tastes salty, reduce the salt dose or frequency of regeneration. Ensure the brine tank isn't overfilled and that the drain line isn't clogged, causing brine to sit too long.
If you see water leaking from the unit, tighten all connections and check the O-rings on the bypass valve and resin tank. Replace any worn or damaged parts.
