Softener produces salty-tasting water immediately after regeneration.

Safety first: Salty water is unpleasant but typically not dangerous for most users; consult a physician if on a sodium-restricted diet.

Step-by-step:

• 1. Check programming: Ensure the AquaHouse controller has adequate slow and fast rinse times per the manual.
• 2. Inspect drain line: Verify the drain hose and flow control are not restricted, allowing full rinse flow.
• 3. Observe regeneration: Watch a full regeneration and confirm that rinse stages occur and water flows strongly to drain.
• 4. Adjust brine refill: If brine is overly strong, reduce the refill time slightly within AquaHouse specifications.
• 5. Test water: After adjustments, run another regeneration and flush several gallons of water before use.
