Water Softener: Morton water softener stopped working

Sat, 11 Oct 2025 14:52:07 -0700

Hi,

My Morton water softener M34 has some issues. It has enough salt but complaining that the salt level is low. I tested the water hardness and it shows >200.

Does anyone have experience repairing one?

Water Softener: CSI signature series (1) control valve troubleshooting

Sun, 15 Dec 2024 09:27:11 -0700

Hi we have error code 3 which is an issue with the control valve? I think I need to take the cover off and check for debris? The manual is very vague and unhelpful.

Water Softener: Flow Meter Sensor for Culligan CTM Softener

Hi there!

I have a Culligan CTM Top Mount Softener. I understand that one end of the cable is supposed to connect to the main control board (done that!), but i am having a hard time figuring out what the other end (where the plastic sensor is located) is supposed to go. Any hint will be much appreciated!

Water Softener: Shot in the dark for Hall Sensor for Culligan

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 00:13:45 -0700

I have a Culligan Gold series watersoftener. My unit can measure water flow. The way it does this is through a hall sensor that measures a small impeller that spins as the water flows. There is a magnet in the impeller that is read by the hall sensor.

I have tested the sensor by digging it out of it's epoxy bed and injecting 5 volts, it seem to be bad. I can't read any markings on the sensor. I don't know if it's a north or south sensing. (I don't know anything about hall sensors, only what I have learned in the last few days. I want to solder in a new sensor. It's about 4mm wide.
