Brine Failure on ONE Tank Only - 9000 / 9100 Twin
If your system uses one the twin alternating control valves ( common models are Fleck 9000,
9100, and Fleck 9500 ), and the Brine Suction cycle is failing to draw
up the Brine from the Salt tank when unit is operating off one tank, but okay on the other (
i.e. when on Tank 1, works great, but when switches to tank 2, brine suction is not created ),
THEN, the problem is an internal leak of the LOWER Piston & Seals.
Replacing these ( Lower Main Piston and Seals & Spacers Kit ) should solve
the problem.

A Single Tank ( valve on one Resin Tank ) System will also fail to draw brine ( suction of the salt water ) if the
valve has internal seal problem.

It's one of the half dozen reasons listed in our # 1 FAQ article about high water in the brine tank ( because it is not sucking any out ).
