Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No special safety beyond normal electrical precautions.

  • Reset time: Enter the time-of-day setting and adjust to the correct local time, ensuring AM/PM is set correctly.
  • Check regen time: Verify the programmed regeneration time is during low water usage hours (e.g., 2:00 AM).
  • Monitor for drift: Check the time again after a few days. If it drifts significantly, inspect the power adapter and consider replacing the control board if the clock cannot keep time.
