ID N,. Serial number We recently renovated the kitchen and to do so had to disconnect it and then when finished the renovation reconnect it. The plumbing work looks good and the by-pass is closed. The virus has meant the plumber cannot come back immediately.
What might the fault be and how can I fix it? Thanks Martyn. Let's start with the basics - don't take offense, but let's double check that the softener "bypass" valve is in the "service" position. If I'm mistaken we need more details to be sure we're looking at your very water softener and can find and check the correct manual for it. Generic answer: typically a green button or end of a bypass valve is pushed IN, or a rotating lever is turned so that its arrow points to "Service".
Also one photo per comment if you can post a photo of the softener's ID and data tag that'd help. Conntact: Harveys Water Softeners Website: www. Harvey's non-electric water softener relies simply on the building's water supply pressure to operate. So there's no electrical power to turn on or off.
Below are Harvey's instructions for turning the bypass valve to the "ON" position; you can confirm that your valve is properly set so that the handle is in line with the pipe. Once we're sure the softener is NOT in "bypass" mode, we need to confirm that water is running through it; simple visual inspection of your cold water supply pipes, following from the point of entry at the building, can confirm that probably most-all of your water flows through the softener - so if you have water pressure but no soft water, we then move on to.
The red line inside shows you when to refill or re-order your block salt. If you can see the red line this means it is time to refill the salt in your water softener. Next, if there is a salt block, it's possible that it's stuck in position when it should be settling.
If the salt block won't descend, Harvey recommends breaking up any salt fragments or crystals at the bottom of the block:. They might be stuck or have crystallised. To resolve this, boil a kettle of water and wait 5 - 10 minutes for it to cool it down slightly. Pour about a mugs worth of water around each salt block. Then push any build up down with a plastic or wooden spatula. If there is NO salt in the softener, follow Harvey's salt block replacement instructions illustrated below:.
If your softener has salt and is not in bypass mode and has water pressure, try a manual regeneration cycle - initiated by following instructions in the manual under "Manual regeneration" - on the last page in the manual.
If you don't have the manual for your softener you can find a copy at the company's website or from this link:. If you're still stuck with no soft water, because of the COVID pandemic you may not be able to get a quick-response service call on-site, but you should not hesitate to contact the company directly for advice.

A regeneration cycle "cleans" the softener resin of minerals that have bound to the resin beads so that during the brine cycle salt molecules instead coat the resin to permit further water softening salt is swapped into the water and calcium and magnesium are swapped out ; But regen won't clean dirt and silt from the brine tank and if the resin beads are exhausted no longer work the softener won't soften water even though it's been through a regen cycle.

As a matter of practice I like to keep enough salt in a water softener brine tank that I'm confident the softener won't run out of salt before my next regular inspection date. So, for example if I inspect the softener brine tank once a month, I would fill to at least a bit above one month's usage.
If, for example, your softener is set to pounds of salt per "dose" or per regeneration cycle, and if your softener is set to run a regeneration cycle once a week, and if you are going to inspect your softener once a month, Then you would want to keep at least a bit over pounds of salt in the brine tank.
