Softener regenerates at the wrong time of day

Possible Causes

Safety first: No internal work is required.

Step-by-step checks:

1. Set correct time:
- Enter programming mode and set the correct time-of-day, ensuring AM/PM is correct.
2. Check regeneration time:
- Verify the regeneration start time is set to a low-use period (e.g., 2:00 AM).
3. Monitor:
- If the clock drifts significantly over a few days, the electronic control board may need replacement.
