Hoonved Water Softener Ineffective

Built-in water softener does not seem to work; heavy limescale on heating elements and inside tank.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Salt reservoir empty, Incorrect hardness setting on control, Blocked softener resin bed, Faulty softener valve not regenerating

Safety first: Disconnect power and close water supply before servicing the softener.

Refill salt: Ensure the salt reservoir is filled with regeneration salt and the cap is sealed.
Set hardness: In programming mode, set the water hardness according to local water analysis so regeneration frequency is correct.
Manual regeneration: If possible, trigger a manual regeneration cycle and observe valve operation.
Service softener: If scale persists, the resin bed may be exhausted or blocked and the softener assembly may need replacement.
