(See Flush Lines in Installation Steps and
Start-Up Procedures.)

Solution
Fill the brine cabinet with salt. (See Setting and
Using the Controller .)
Remove air check draw tube and flush with clean
water. Clean injector assembly. Clean any sediment
from brine cabinet.
Straighten, thaw, or unclog the drain line.
Remove injector cap and clean nozzle and throat
with a wooden toothpick. Replace throat if removed.
High humidity or the wrong kind of salt can create a
salt bridge. This is a crust that forms an empty
space between the water and salt. To test, use a
blunt object like a broom handle. Push the handle
into the salt to dislodge the salt bridge.
Place the bypass valve in the service position.
Check that appliance is plumbed correctly.
Initiate manual regeneration. Reset Time of day if
set to Time Mode (1) or Demand Delayed Mode (2).
Re-test the water and re-enter a new setting
number. (See Start-Up Procedures .)
Check WaterMizer indicator. Indicator should flash
with water usage. If no indicator, see below.
Place the bypass valve in the service position.
Check that appliance is plumbed correctly.
Remove sensor from bypass housing. Test by
placing magnet on the sensor chip. If indicator
flashes, replace the turbine. If not, replace the
sensor.
Repair the leak.
Make sure the controller is pushed all the way onto
the drive end cap.
Remove foreign objects from the valve body.
Repair the drive end cap.
