Possible Causes

Hardness set too high, Capacity set too low, Meter miscounting flow, Leaking toilet or fixture causing constant flow

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

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

  • Check for leaks: Inspect toilets and faucets for continuous running or dripping, which can cause excessive water usage and frequent regenerations.
  • Verify hardness and capacity: Compare programmed hardness to actual tested hardness. Reduce hardness setting if it is significantly higher than actual. Increase capacity setting if it is below AquaSoft recommendations for your resin volume.
  • Inspect flow meter: Clean the AquaSoft turbine meter and ensure it spins freely. A sticking meter can miscount flow.
  • Monitor usage: After adjustments, track regeneration frequency over several days to ensure it matches expected household usage.
