Possible Causes
Regeneration frequency set too high, Salt dosage set too high, Internal valve leak causing extra regenerations, Flow meter misreading usage
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
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.
