A few days ago, I noticed that the salt level in my old Culligan softener(model # 4464-95) was lower than the level of the water. I added salt which of course made the water level much higher than normal. This morning I noticed the brine tank was filled to the top and overflowing, albeit *very* slowly. I took out the float and valve assembly and could find nothing wrong with it. Culligan is a pain. They want me to set up an account with them and then wait a week before they would send someone to look at it. You call the local number and all you get is some far away answering service who know absolutely nothing about softeners. Another dealer said he could come tomorrow, but when I said it was a Culligan, he said there was no point, because he can't get Culligan parts. Is it a matter of simply lowering the water level to normal or below or is there something else I should be doing like replacing the float valve, if Culligan will sell me the parts?
