Water backing up into brine tank?

Does a round septic tank have anything that will stop the water from backing up into the house?

No, in fact no septic tank I have ever seen (hundreds) has this feature. The system relies on you keeping it healthy. Backing up usually means the tank is plugged and needs to be pumped out.

Can you fix your own water softener The timer and cycling functions seem to work but the water does not get soft.?

If your water softener timer and cycling functions seem to be working correctly, there are at least three more items to check: salt in the brine tank, clogged eductor nozzles, old resin For the water softener to work correctly, it needs to regenerate. Typically a household softener is set to regenerate every 3 to 7 days and most units are designed to regenerate at night when no one is using water. During regeneration, the softener will pull brine (very salty water) from the brine tank and rinse this brine through the softener resin tank slowly to "refresh" the resin beads inside the tank. If this process doesn't happen, the softener will deliver hard water. This process will fail if: there is no salt in the brine tank for the softener to pull out or if there is no water in the brine tank to dissolve the salt. At the end of each regeneration, the softener pumps water back into the brine tank so it will dissolve salt for the next regeneration. Things to check: 1) is there salt in your brine tank? 2) is there water in the brine tank before the regeneration starts? (usually 5-10 inches of water, depends upon the model and size of brine tank) You might not see the top surface of the water if you have lots of salt in the brine tank. 3) during the regeneration process, which typically runs 60-120 minutes, watch to make sure that the level of water draws down (slowly) and later fills back up. If the level is not going down and back up during regeneration, it is possible that the "eductor nozzle" is blocked. This is a small plastic component with a tiny hole in it that can easily become clogged. On almost all softeners it is quick and easy to remove the eductor nozzle, flush it with water and replace it. consult your owners guide. If there is salt in the brine tank and the water level is going up and down, and this softener is 5-10 years old or older, it is likely that the "ion exchange resin beads" inside the softener tank are 'dead'. A typical household softener has 0.5 to 2 cubic feet of resin beads inside the tank depending upon the model and the hardness of the water that is being treated. The tiny plastic ion echange beads in the tank get regenerated every few days, but after hundreds of regenerations, and/or exposure to high levels of impurities and/or chlorine they can 'wear out'. Replacing the beads is a messy job and you need to be careful in the process so you don't accidentally end up filling the pipes in your home with loose beads. Unless you're particularly handy, strong and have a way to suck out and replace the beads, it is probably best to hire a water softener dealer to test your resin beads and replace them if needed.

Why would the water softener tank fill up and overflow?

It could be that the softener has developed an internal mechanical fault so that it is not fully shutting-off the flow of water to the brine tank after the regeneration cycle has been completed for the softener's ion-exchange resin granules which are held in its "resin tank". A likely cause of the trouble could be that the softener's "brine valve" is now failing to completely shut off the flow of water. It might be caused by a component such as a valve sealing washer on the valve module that you may be able to access and repair as a D-I-Y job. A different cause of the problem could be that the internal "resin tank" - which contains the ion-exchange resin granules - has developed a crack or split which allows water to leak at high pressure into the brine tank. The resin tank is not usually repairable so, if that is the cause, a new resin tank is required. The cost of the work required to have a new tank fitted is unlikely to be worthwhile. It is usually much cheaper to buy a new water softener.

Soften Up Your Hard Water?

Hard water will stain fixtures and reduce the efficiency of soap and laundry detergents. One way to combat these problems is to a install water softening system. This system is designed to release magnesium and calcium into the water supply prior to it entering your home. It's important that you regularly inspect the salt level in your system. Also, the water in the brine tank should completely cover the softener salt. If the level is too low, add water to the brine tank. Regular inspection and maintenance of your water softener system ensures that it remains in proper working order.

How do you put sea monkeys into a bigger tank without killing them?

If they are adults, its is quite easy. First, prepare the larger tank to house the sea monkeys. This will include dechlornating the water, adding the proper amount of salt, and bringing the larger tank up to the same temperature as the original. Then it is simply a matter of straining the sea monkeys out of the smaller enclosure using a brine shrimp net (available online at www.bigalsonline.com OR at most pet stores). Then simply place the brine shrimp into a larger container. For newly hatched brine the process is similar, except that you will need a MUCH finer net such as a rotifer seive.

What is the purpose of a heat trap on water heaters?

to keep hot water from backing up into the cold water piping.

You have water backing up in bath tub?

Can the brine regenerant from a water softener be discharged into a septic tank without damaging the septic tank or impacting its effectiveness?

http://outreach.missouri.edu/webster/ag-edge/waste-home/watersoft.html This website discusses the topic. I came acroos this information on the web as I was trying to research the same question. In Connecticut it is prohibited by law in any case it is not recommended. The septic tank contrary to popular myth performs a much smaller portion of the treatment of sewage than the drainfield. The septic tank should be a calm, still environment where settling and separation of the solids and liquids takes place. Salt brine from water softeners because of the high salt content is heavier than sewage and displaces and stirs up the sewage as it enters the tank plunging to the very bottom displacing the accumulated sludge. This is contrary to the normal workings of the tank. Undesirable substances from the bottom of the tank recombine with the clarified sewage effluent in the center zone of the tank and spill over into the drainfield. Salt water brine should never be introduced into a septic tank.

Why is water coming out from base of toilet and backing up into tub when flushed?

maybe bcuz to save water..

Is there anything to stop sewer backing up in a rain storm?

There are multiple ways of stopping sewer backing up in rain storms. Ensuring there is no blocking or back ups in the piping can keep the sewer from backing up. Using generators to release excess water and allow it to flow elsewhere can prevent a sewer from backing up during a rain storm.
