Water Softener Full Of Water Fix

Water softener full of water? Need a water softener fix for a brine tank that won’t drain? water softener not draining? The problem might be the Venturi valve!

If your water softener brine tank is full of water all of the time, you could have a malfunctioning venturi valve. The most common issue with water softener venturi valves is that they get dirty and need to be cleaned. If your water softener venturi valve is clean then its likely to have a worn out gasket. water softener venturi valve gaskets need to be replaced every couple of years. in the video you can see how much wear my gasket has on it. My water softener is a whirlpool WHES33 LE33.

This is so fantastic. There's a diagram in the unit, but there's nothing better than watching someone do it. Thank you!!

I'm trying to find reasons why my Whirlpool water softener has collected water inside the tank. Your video will be the one fix I'll try first. Other videos just doesn't make sense. Glad I found you w/ your straight forward explanation that a child could understand. Thank you!!

This was a great video. Really good camera work (easy to see), video editing (No parts skipped, but tedious parts time-lapsed foreward), super clear narration (and explanation, which i love!). I don't know if this is my problem - but I'm going to try it. And for anyone who had this problem, your video is very helpful and well produced. thanks!

I watched your video, rebuilt my Venturi, it seemed to fix it for a couple months, glad the kit I purchased on Amazon had several of the gaskets it there. Hoping that today gives me some more months of soft water without my tank filling up.

If that doesn’t solve your water in the tank problems there’s also a plunger in the head valve unit that has a oring/spring that wears out over time causing the brine wash cycle not to function properly letting water back into the brine tank instead of washing the resin tank. Took me awhile to figure it out but once I replaced that my softener worked properly. Hope this helps someone.

Alright!! A very useful video for my similar Whirlpool water softener, Fred! Thank you so much! Being the cautious DYI-er, while awaiting the replacement gasket to be delivered, I performed a "dry run", just to make sure I wasn't caught by surprise by anything when the actual replacement sequence were to take place. It really adds confidence to the actual process.

One suggestion: Since mine wasn't dried out or frayed, I didn't know what defined a "worn out" gasket until I saw a side-by-side photo online. Those imprinted "channels" made from the plastic venturi is another tell-tale sign of a worn-out gasket. The whole swap took me just 10 minutes.

Quick and to the point. I have the same issue just need to check for the gaskets.

[nandangopan]

Great video and highly appreciate you providing the amazon link to buy the gaskets as well. Very helpful.

Thanks my friend, I'm glad people like us got people like you to help us out.

I have a whirlpool 40k grain. Started having issues over a year and a half ago. It was 4 years old at the time. It would regenerate every 3-4 days like normal and the salt level was still going down. But no soft water. Always keep the salt level in between the 2 and the 3 mark. No salt bridge or anything. Replaced Venturi gasket. No soft water. Hoses are clear. What I finally figured out was whe the regeneration would start it was only filling for like 2-3 minutes and only taking on about 3/4 a gallon of water. This is according to my water meter. Well, to me that didn’t seem like enough water to make a salty brine to run through the softener to recharge it. Just for the heck of it I dumped in a gallon of water before the next regeneration. A day later we had soft water again. I now add 1 gallon of water to the tank after every regeneration. We’ve had soft water now ever since. I contacted whirlpool and they’re absolutely no help when I asked how much water is supposed to go into the tank during the fill stage. Total incompetent morons. The float moves up and down freely. No clog in the hose the water comes through. But obviously not nearly enough water going in to do a recharge and clean the resin beads. Any ideas?

[GrizDrummer]

I have the same softener that, during it's last charge cycle a few days ago, never stopped running! It's full of water and had been pulling water from my well for a good 14 hrs before I finally managed to force the broken motor to close the valve, stopping the water, and unplug it. So this video is exactly what I needed to stumble across to refurbish my system! Thanks.

Now I just need to figure out how to close my bypass valve without making the other side of it leak too much...

[gypsyprincess]

God bless you, sir! Very helpful and well-produced video! 🙏🏼

[oldengguy]

Just ordered a gasket. I'm figuring my problem is the same. Thanks.

[AmandaPanda-nqdo]

Thanks, ordered my gasket today. Hope that's it.

[joemiller]

That's a sturdy shelf with the bottled water on it!

[tjam]

I have the same symptoms as you, a full brine tank, but I think I may have a different problem.
Before you replaced the gasket, did you first TEST to see if the water emptied in the brine tank when you forced recharge cycle?? If the water emptied, it's my guess that your gasket was fine. (If it is still able to empty the water on recharge, then the problem isn't the gasket) If it's like my case, the water is accumulating over days. The problem comes from a "slow/leak filling" from somewhere, NOT from water being left behind because of faulty gasket and inability to syphon water out of brine tank.

So, any grooves are bad grooves (in the seal). Thanks, wasn't sure if the seal was manu'd that way or what.

[dathuynh]

I try every thing on my water softener just found your video and order the new gasket hopefully it will work

[vijaykumarchandrasekaran]

I need your valuable support..
Thanks for your very useful video. However my problem is a little different from the subject video and your expertise may help me to fix it and I am confident in you.

My softener has the problem that it's not getting the water into the brine tank which is dry now and the regeneration cycle happens without taking the brine solution and obviously the water remains the same. Is the same Venturi valve problem can fix this problem?

Kindly provide your input and I wish you all the best.

Thanks a lot.

[ragetotheend]

straight to the problem and the fix good video.
