Default Low water pressure from water softener


"Andy Petro" inquired:

My water pressure drops through the water softener. Can this be due to the
resin bed. Can it be repaired?


Yes, it very well could be. Have you been maintaining by regular cleaning?
Have you tried cleaning it to see if that helped?

There is also some sort of nozzle in some models that need cleaning, but I
don't know if that would affect the presure coming out of the softner during
water usage. A clogged resin bed will though.

If it can no longer be cleaned some models are resin replaceable, not sure
about cost effectiveness though.

A couple of questions though - How old is the unit, and do you have any type
of water filter installed prior to the softner?
