Softener regenerates too frequently, wasting salt and water.

Safety first: Adjust programming only according to water test results and manufacturer guidelines.

• Confirm actual hardness: Test incoming water hardness. Adjust the programmed hardness to match, adding a small safety factor if iron is present.
• Review capacity setting: Ensure the programmed capacity matches the resin volume and salt dose used, per the Hellenbrand chart.
• Check meter settings: Verify meter size and pulse rate are correct for the installed turbine.
• Inspect turbine: Remove and inspect the turbine for damage or wobble that could cause false pulses. Replace if worn or cracked.
• Monitor usage: After adjustments, track gallons used between regenerations to confirm they align with expected capacity.
