Water Softener Repair
June 9, 2007 on 9:00 pm | In Main |Yesterday, I came home from work, exercised, cooked and ate dinner, had a glass of wine, then went to bed. I supposed I could have posted while drinking the wine, but I decided not to.
Today, my big accomplishment was fixing the leak in the water softener. The leak was bad enough to leave a standing puddle in the garage. The scary part was that I had to shut off the water main to fix it. The original owner’s of the house did not put in any shut-off or bypass valve. I took apart the injector valve area of the water softener. I expected to see a lot of corrosion and worn seals, but everything was in surprisingly good shape. It turns out the leak was just from a loose screw on the part that attaches the water in and out unit to the valve area.
I was glad I was able to fix the water softener. I was worried about either an expensive plumbing bill or a bill for a new water softener. I’m optimistic that the existing water softener wilil last for another five years or more.
