Water softener uses salt much faster than expected.

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

• Step 1 – Review settings: Check hardness, capacity, and salt dosage settings. Adjust to match your actual water usage and hardness per the GE manual.
• Step 2 – Check regeneration frequency: Note how often the unit regenerates. If it regenerates daily with low water use, reduce capacity or correct hardness setting.
• Step 3 – Inspect for leaks: Look for continuous drain flow or internal leaks that could trigger extra regenerations.
• Step 4 – Correct brine overfill: If the brine tank is overfilling, fix the brine valve or refill control to prevent overly strong brine and wasted salt.
• Step 5 – Monitor usage: After adjustments, track salt use over a month to confirm improvement.
