Look for salt clogging inside the tank. Clogging can occur where the brine line connects to the water softener valve.

Why won’t my water softener shut off?

Softener Won’t Stop Running/Draining This could be due to a clogged drain line/control, injector/venturi or brine line/valve. It might also be that the valve assembly in the salt tank cannot move or that water pressure in your house is too low (measure and adjust accordingly). Any blockages have to be removed.

How often should you set your water softener to regenerate?
