Water is soft at first but becomes hard before the next scheduled regeneration

Safety first: No disassembly is required for basic checks.

Step-by-step:

• Recalculate capacity: Determine daily water usage and hardness. Use the AquaUnique manual to calculate the correct capacity and regeneration frequency.
• Adjust settings: Increase hardness value or reduce capacity setting so the unit regenerates more frequently.
• Check for resin loss: If you see resin beads in faucets or drain, the resin bed may be reduced, lowering capacity. Inspect the drain and fixtures.
• Monitor performance: After adjustments, test hardness near the end of the cycle to confirm improvement.

When to call a technician: If capacity remains inadequate, you may need a larger AquaUnique softener or resin replacement.
