Possible Causes

Hardness programmed to zero, Incorrect hardness sensor input (if equipped), Corrupted programming, Control board fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: You can adjust programming with power on; do not open the control head while energized unless necessary.

  • Verify programmed hardness: Enter the programming menu and check the hardness value. Set it to the actual incoming hardness (from a test or water report).
  • Check hardness sensor (if installed): Some advanced Hellenbrand systems use an external hardness probe. Inspect its wiring and clean the probe according to the manual.
  • Reset programming: If the display shows an impossible hardness or H0, perform a factory reset and re-enter all parameters.
  • Monitor operation: After correction, observe the remaining capacity and regeneration intervals over several days to ensure they match expected usage.
  • Replace board if needed: If hardness values continue to reset or show errors, the control board may be defective.
