Waterguy No Automatic Regeneration

Softener display works but unit never regenerates automatically

Advertisements

Possible Causes

Regeneration mode set to manual only, Incorrect time or day settings, Flow meter not registering usage, Calendar override disabled

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: No special hazards; changes are in programming only.

  • Check regen mode: Enter programming and ensure the Waterguy is set to meter-initiated or time-clock regeneration, not manual-only.
  • Verify clock: Set the correct time-of-day and day-of-week.
  • Test flow meter: Run water and confirm the display shows flow and counts down remaining capacity. If not, service the flow meter.
  • Set calendar override: Enable a calendar override (e.g., every 7 days) so the unit regenerates even with low usage.
