Ok in short my first post ask what causes resin to go out of the softener and into the water supply
(toilet tank). So Internet search and confirmed on here the distributor was the likely problem. So I
pulled it apart and I don't see anything wrong with the distributor. Have about a third of the resin
gone at this point. So one of the other recommendations on the Internet is air drawn into the brine
during recharge. So does this sound legit, how do I test for this? I can make the control head go in
to test mode and cycle through recharge steps manually. The second valve setting is called
"brining", I assume that is where I would find the problem with air getting in if that is the issue.
What would I be looking for to tell me air entry is the problem? One other question I have is will the resin change in properties? Will it become lighter and flow out with the water for some reason? I saw on the Internet where someone opened up their water softener resin tank and the resin oozed out the top like it was expanding l think they said it was caused by chlorine. Sorry for the long post. TIA
