Softener regenerates too often, wasting salt and water

Safety: Use caution when changing programming; incorrect settings can affect water quality.

• 1. Verify hardness: Test your water hardness with a reliable kit and adjust the hardness setting to match, adding only a small safety margin.
• 2. Check capacity and reserve: Ensure the programmed capacity and reserve are appropriate for your household size and model rating.
• 3. Inspect flow sensor: Clean and inspect the turbine/flow sensor assembly if usage readings seem unrealistically high.
• 4. Check for cross-connections: Ensure there are no plumbing loops that send softened water back through the meter, such as incorrect connections on water heaters or recirculation lines.
