How to unclog a water softener?
High humidity or keeping too much salt in the softener might be to blame. When the saltwater is wet for lengthy periods of time without being used up, it binds together. The salt forms a solid mass at the bottom of the tank over time, restricting water from flowing into or out of the salt tank. This is a very typical problem, and one of our most prevalent reasons for a service call! The softener stops softening water and stops using salt to make brine after it has stopped functioning. Without any brine, the resin bed will not regenerate, resulting in hard water.
