too much detergent

•This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this from happening, use less detergent if you have soft water. Wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get them clean.

Excessive/high level

plugged, elevated too high

 

or otherwise restricted

•Any restriction in this drain hose may prevent proper operation of the nozzle and venturi and reduce or prevent brine draw during recharge.

Nozzle and venturi dirty, incorrectly assembled or damaged

•See the Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi Assembly section, page 14. With water pressure to the water softening system off, take the nozzle assembly apart. Inspect, clean and replace as needed. Any foreign particle(s), scratches, nicks, etc., in the passages can prevent operation. Be sure holes in the gasket are centered over holes in the housing.
