US Water Systems
Meter Calibration / Configuration Error
Display shows ERR6 and the softener does not track water usage correctly

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.
