Aqmos Excessive Salt Consumption / Over-Regeneration

Softener uses salt very quickly and regenerates more often than expected

Possible Causes

Hardness set too high, Capacity set too low, Flow sensor over-registering usage, Continuous leak in household plumbing

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No special hazards beyond normal plumbing work.

  • Check programming: Compare programmed hardness and capacity with actual water test results and Aqmos sizing guidelines. Reduce hardness setting if it was overestimated.
  • Inspect for leaks: With all fixtures closed, check the Aqmos display for flow. Any continuous flow indicates a leak (toilet, tap, outdoor line) that must be repaired.
  • Verify flow sensor: Clean and inspect the flow turbine and sensor to ensure they are not generating false pulses.
  • Adjust regeneration strategy: If the unit is set to time-clock mode with very frequent cycles, switch to metered mode or extend the time interval according to usage.
