Possible Causes
Hardness set too high, Capacity set too low, Meter miscalibrated, Excessive water usage or leak in plumbing
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No special hazards; focus on settings and leak checks.
- Review settings: Confirm hardness and capacity are correctly programmed. Reduce hardness setting if it was overestimated.
- Check for leaks: Look for running toilets, dripping faucets, or other continuous water use that could trigger frequent regenerations.
- Verify meter accuracy: Compare the controller's recorded daily usage with your actual estimated usage. If readings are abnormally high, inspect the flow meter for faults.
- Adjust reserve capacity: If reserve is set too high, reduce it to a more appropriate level for your household.
