@jjmichell,
is it keeping time? doe's it click when you turn the black knob? it puts water back into the brine tank on the "salt" part of the cycle. it doesn't fill on brine, it draws the water from the brine tank. is the ball at the top of the triguard all the time? did you remove the triguard? there is a poppet valve between the triguard and the brass elbow that might not be sealing properly. When you turn it through each step, do you allow the drive motor to stop(cams stop turning) before turning it to the next step? how old is the system? 120 volt or 24 ? do the cams move , and water flow when you advance through
the steps?
I don't understand this statement: "When it got to the brine rinse there was only enough brine water to to fill about 10 seconds before I hit the soak phase"
