Possible Causes

Failed RTC circuit on Aqua Dial PCB, Depleted backup battery (if fitted), Frequent power interruptions, Corrupted timekeeping firmware

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect power before opening the control head.

  • Check for backup battery: Some Aqua Dial models include a small coin-cell or rechargeable battery on the PCB. If accessible and user-serviceable, replace it with the exact specified type.
  • Stabilise power: Ensure the softener is connected to a stable power source, not a switched outlet that is turned off regularly.
  • Reset time: After restoring power, set the correct time and regeneration schedule.
  • Replace PCB: If the clock will not keep time even with a new battery and stable power, the control PCB may need replacement.
