Softener display shows normal operation but water tastes salty after regeneration

Safety first: Do not drink water that tastes strongly of salt until the issue is resolved.

• Extend rinse: Increase the rapid rinse time in the Waterguy programming to ensure all brine is flushed.
• Reduce salt dose: Adjust salt settings to manufacturer-recommended levels.
• Check drain line: Clear any kinks or restrictions that could reduce rinse flow.
• Manual flush: Run an extra manual regeneration and then flush house lines by running several faucets for a few minutes.
