You are awesome to watch. Always warning of anything that could go wrong and how to do this and not that. Wondering if that is an old house. Looks like cool old brick work behind the water softener.

Thank you for your very kind words Deloria 👍🏻 it’s actually a 1949 country cottage with a stone foundation from the actual rocks from the property back then. Also dry as a bone👍🏻👍🏻 Catch you on the next one!!

How do you get the damn cap off???

[@covidhoax7646]

Never use a wrench to tighten metal on plastic.

I like to crack it so it leaks

I finished my installation successfully days ago, but in the middle night, while the softener started recharging process, it’s flooding all of my garages…, I did not figure out the causes yet

[@HighRidgeHandyman]

You need to make sure the drain line is properly connected to the unit. Also make sure the end of the drain line is going into a properly drain and that it’s not clogged. When the recharging happens a lot of water with pressure is flushing out. Make sure you have a clean drain exit outdoors . Good luck

@@HighRidgeHandyman Thx for your instruction! Yes, the drain was also properly installed. Actually, I tried again this morning, making it recharge at 10 AM my time, now it’s 10:05AM my time, the softener did not start processing. So, I will get the softener returned to Homedepot.
