Lindsay
Regeneration Scheduling / Timer Fault
Lindsay softener does not regenerate at scheduled time (no error displayed)

Possible Causes
Incorrect time-of-day setting, Regeneration set to demand mode with low usage, Disabled regeneration in programming, Faulty clock circuit
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal work should be done with power connected.
- Verify current time: Check that the time-of-day on the display matches actual time and AM/PM is correct.
- Check regen mode: Enter the programming menu and confirm the unit is set to time clock or metered mode as desired, with an appropriate regeneration time (often 2:00 AM).
- Review capacity settings: If in demand mode, ensure hardness and capacity are set correctly so the unit actually reaches its regeneration threshold.
- Run manual regen: Start a manual regeneration to confirm the valve can cycle through all stages. If it does, the issue is likely programming rather than mechanics.
