Identifying a clogged water softener involves checking for specific hydraulic and mechanical warning signs. Major indicators include a sudden, drastic drop in household water pressure whenever faucets are opened, water that feels hard again despite a full brine tank, salt bridges forming a hard crust that prevents water flow, or a control valve stuck mid-cycle that leaves the drain line running continuously. Furthermore, iron fouling can clog the microscopic pores of the plastic resin bed. Verification: Check your water pressure at an unsoftened outdoor spigot versus indoor taps to isolate a softener blockage.
