Hello!
Are there any participants in this forum who are knowledgeable about Rainsoft Q2 systems anymore?
I've replaced the O-rings on the piston and the system runs through a cycle in mostly normal manner. The system fills the brine tank with water, but never draws water from the brine tank.
Currently the Tri-Guard is full after the cycle completes and the white ball remains pegged at the top of the Tri-Guard.
Here's what I've done:
* Replaced piston O-Rings
* Removed brine line that goes from Tri-Guard to tank and ensured it is clear and unobstructed
* Removed smaller line from Tri-Guard to valve and made sure it is unobstructed
* Confirmed that the little venturi washer is inserted into the Tri-Guard fitting that the line from the valve connects to
* Confirmed that the screen in between the Tri-Guard line and the valve is clear and unobstructed
* Ensured there is no debris blocking the bottom of the Tri-Guard copper line coming from the valve
* Confirmed that the poppet is installed between the Tri-Guard and the copper line from the valve
* Confirmed that the o-ring on the poppet is in good shape
I'm stumped as to why the unit is not drawing brine.
Thanks,
Jason
@Jasons,
I know nothing about it, but do know that if you click on the tags (water softener, rainsoft) a lot of previous threads on all this will show up. There are probably hundreds..
In the meantime, some present a2k person may see your post and respond.
@ossobuco,
Thanks for the reply. I have indeed spent literally hours over the past 3 days scouring these forums and have used a lot of the info gleaned to get to the point that I am now. I'm still missing something though....
