Softener causes a salty taste in the softened water after regeneration.

Safety first: No electrical hazards for basic adjustments, but close inlet valve if opening the valve body.

• Increase rinse time: In the AquaSoft programming, increase the rapid rinse duration according to the manual to ensure thorough flushing of residual brine.
• Check salt dosage: Verify the salt setting matches the resin capacity. Reduce the salt dose if it is set excessively high.
• Inspect drain flow control: Remove and clean the drain flow control insert to ensure proper rinse flow rate.
• Check internal seals: If salty taste persists, inspect and replace the rotor seal and spacer kit to prevent cross-leakage between brine and service ports.
