  • water level higher in brine tank well; problem is overflow

    The softener brine tank is overflowing, not much, but making a mess. (There is no float with a check valve installed. I don't know if that is a common configuration or if the vendor didn't choose to install one) I have a Fleck 5600.

    The first cycle step is the backwash. No problems there. The second is brine filling. At this time, the tank is not empty as the final cycle, in the previous recharge, is also a brine fill. At the end of each brine fill, the water level inside the well tower is actually higher than the brine tank's level. It's about 3" higher. How can this be? Isn't the brine well, larger tube containing the riser, open to the bottom of the tank?
