Air accumulates in the water pipes after a water softener cycles because the water softener stops the flow of water during this time. This usually only takes 5 to 7 minutes. Air builds up when the pipes get empty.

Why do water pipes burst in the winter?
If you don't insulate water pipes or protect them in some way from the cold, the water inside the pipes can freeze. This causes you to be without water until the pipes warm up enough to thaw. Also, when the water freezes, it can expand and burst the pipes which will then need to be replaced. Save yourself the aggravation of having no water and the cost of replacing pipes by insulating them. To protect pipes in an empty or unused building, you can pour anti-freeze down all drains and in the toilet to winterize them.

Is water softener the same as salt?
There are many reasons for a water softener not to us salt. For example: - The water softener is bypassed (so no water going through it) or switched off. - The water softener is not metering water consumption properly. - The valve is jammed or broken. - There is an air leak in the brine draw mechanism. Which one is most likely will depend on which make and model of water softener you have. If you have an engineering mindset and have a good fault-finding guide, you can try working through these. Otherwise it is time to call in a good water softener engineer. Julian Hobday of KindWater
