How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Verify water quality regularly when adjusting regeneration frequency.

  • Test hardness: Confirm outlet water is consistently soft with a test kit.
  • Adjust settings: If regenerations are extremely infrequent, slightly increase the programmed hardness or reduce capacity to ensure periodic regeneration and resin cleaning.
  • Check meter function: Ensure the flow meter is counting usage correctly; if not, see flow sensor troubleshooting.
