Can the softener cause pressure loss, if so what do I look for, and what do I need to fix it?

Indeed, a softener will cause some pressure loss when using high flow rates in the home, but normally the pressure loss is no minimal it is not noticeable. On the off chance that you encounter unreasonable water pressure loss, it very well may be caused by one or a blend of the accompanying issues.

1. On well water, this is normally because of fine sand originating from the well has plugged your water softener bed or valve.

2. Water softeners installed in the outside where sun hits the tanks most of the day, a layer of green growth can develop and thick bits of this development stop up the lower merchant tube screen when they begin peeling off within the tank.

3. City water, the chlorine can assault the resin bed and after some time, causing the resin bed to solidify and become to dense. The answer for question two and three of the above issues is to dump the resin tank, clean and bed with new resin. One cubic foot of softening resin is sufficient to appropriately fill the normal private softener. We can figure the sum for you, in the event that you give correct tank measurements.
