Softener regenerates too frequently, sometimes multiple times per day, wasting salt and water.

Safety first: No immediate hazard, but excessive drain flow can stress plumbing.

Check for leaks:

• Turn off all water-using fixtures and appliances.
• Observe the Kinetico flow meter or controller display; if it shows flow with everything off, there is a leak.
• Check toilets, humidifiers, RO systems, and outdoor faucets for continuous flow.

Verify settings:

• Confirm that hardness and capacity are not set excessively low.
• Adjust settings to match actual water conditions and household size.

Meter check:

• If no leaks are found but the meter still shows flow, inspect the turbine/flow sensor for electrical noise or mechanical issues (see flow sensor error).

Resolution: Correct any plumbing leaks and reprogram the controller. If the meter is faulty, replace the flow sensor or meter module.
