Possible Causes

Incorrect hardness or capacity settings, Severely fouled or exhausted resin bed, Control board calculation error, Flow meter miscalibration

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before changing internal components. Wear gloves and eye protection when handling resin.

  • Verify programming: Check that the water hardness, salt dosage, and capacity settings match your Tapworks model and local water analysis. Correct any errors.
  • Perform manual regeneration: Initiate a full regeneration cycle to restore resin capacity. Test water hardness after completion.
  • Assess resin condition: If water remains hard soon after regeneration, the resin may be fouled with iron or organics. Consider using a resin cleaner according to Tapworks recommendations.
  • Inspect flow meter: Ensure the turbine spins freely and that the control registers flow correctly. Miscounted flow can cause capacity errors.
  • If E13 persists and resin is old (10+ years) or badly fouled: Replace the Tapworks resin media with the correct grade and volume for your model, or consult a professional.
