Aquasana softener regenerates too frequently, wasting salt and water

Safety first: No special safety concerns for programming changes.

Steps to reduce over-regeneration:

• 1. Test actual hardness: Use a hardness test kit and compare to the programmed hardness value. Reduce the setting if it is higher than actual.
• 2. Verify capacity setting: Ensure the Aquasana control is programmed for the correct resin capacity for your model.
• 3. Check for leaks: Inspect toilets and fixtures for continuous running that could cause excessive water usage.
• 4. Check meter accuracy: Compare the meter’s gallon count to your home’s water meter over a day. If the Aquasana meter is over-counting, inspect and replace the turbine meter.
