BWT Over-Frequent Regeneration

BWT softener regenerates too often (more frequently than needed)

Possible Causes

Hardness set too high, Capacity set too low, Flow meter misreading high usage, Incorrect meter type selected in programming

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Only adjust programming parameters you understand; incorrect settings can affect water quality.

  • Check hardness setting: Compare the programmed hardness with a recent water test. Reduce the value if it is higher than actual hardness.
  • Adjust capacity: Increase the programmed capacity (within BWT limits) if set too low for your household usage.
  • Verify meter type: Ensure the correct flow meter type (e.g., turbine, paddle) is selected in the installer menu.
  • Monitor usage: Track daily water use and compare with the controller’s recorded volume. If readings are much higher, inspect the flow meter for faults.

If regeneration remains excessive, consult a BWT technician to optimize settings and verify sensor accuracy.
