Possible Causes

Incorrect meter size programmed, Wrong pulse setting, Firmware mismatch, Control board configuration corruption

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: No plumbing work is required for configuration checks, but unplug the unit if removing the cover.

  • Verify meter size: Enter the installer menu and confirm the meter size (e.g., 3/4", 1", 1.25") matches the physical meter installed on your US Water Systems softener.
  • Check pulse setting: Ensure the pulses per gallon (or liter) setting matches the flow meter specification. Incorrect values will cause inaccurate usage tracking and may trigger ERR6.
  • Update or reset firmware: If your controller supports firmware updates, follow US Water Systems instructions to update. Otherwise, perform a factory reset and reprogram all parameters.
  • Replace control board if needed: If configuration is correct and ERR6 persists, the board may have a firmware or memory defect and should be replaced.
