Softener frequently runs out of soft water before the next scheduled regeneration.

Possible Causes

Hardness set too low, Household usage higher than programmed, Resin capacity reduced by fouling, Incorrect meter calibration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No special safety concerns for programming changes.

Steps:

  • Re-test hardness: Use a test kit to confirm actual hardness and update the AquaClean settings.
  • Adjust capacity: Reduce the programmed capacity or increase regeneration frequency to match usage.
  • Check meter: Verify the flow meter is counting correctly by comparing displayed usage to actual water use.
  • Resin cleaning: Use a resin cleaner if iron or scale fouling is suspected.

If soft water demand consistently exceeds system capacity, consider upgrading to a larger AquaClean softener.
