Clack water softener regenerates too often, wasting salt and water.

Safety: Only programming changes are typically required; no disassembly is needed.

Steps:

• Verify hardness: Test raw water hardness and compare to programmed value. Reduce the setting if it is significantly higher than actual.
• Check meter size: Ensure the controller is programmed for the correct meter size. A smaller programmed size will cause the system to think more water has been used than actual.
• Review capacity: Confirm that the capacity setting matches the resin volume and salt dose. Increase capacity if it was set too low.
• Inspect meter for false pulses: If regenerations still occur too often, inspect the turbine meter and cable for electrical noise or mechanical issues causing extra pulses. Replace if necessary.

Tip: Track actual household water usage and compare to controller readings to fine-tune settings.
