Possible Causes

Hardness set too high on Aqua Dial controller, Capacity set too low, Incorrect salt dose setting, Flow meter misreading high usage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No internal electrical work is required for basic checks.

  • Verify hardness: Confirm your actual water hardness with a test kit or supplier data. Adjust the controller hardness setting accordingly.
  • Check capacity and salt settings: Ensure the programmed capacity and salt dose match the Aqua Dial model's specification and your household size.
  • Monitor usage: Compare the controller's recorded usage with your estimated daily consumption. If it is much higher, inspect the flow meter as per E05.
  • Adjust settings: Optimise regeneration frequency by fine-tuning hardness and capacity within the recommended range.
