Softener uses excessive salt compared to expected consumption

Safety first: Unplug the unit before adjusting internal components.

• Review programming: Check regeneration frequency, capacity, and salt dose settings. Adjust to Watersoft’s recommended values for your water hardness and household size.
• Check for internal leaks: Ensure there is no continuous drain flow or internal bypass leak that could trigger extra cycles.
• Verify meter accuracy: Compare displayed usage to actual water meter readings if available. Clean or replace the flow sensor if it over-registers.
• Monitor over time: After adjustments, track salt usage for a month to confirm reduction.
