Softener regenerates too frequently (every day or multiple times per day)

Safety first: No plumbing work is required for programming changes.

Steps to check:

• 1. Verify actual hardness: Test raw water hardness and compare to the programmed value. Adjust hardness setting if significantly higher than actual.
• 2. Check capacity setting: Ensure the grain capacity matches the resin volume and Whirlpool recommendations for your model.
• 3. Review household usage: Consider the number of occupants and water usage patterns. Adjust settings to balance salt efficiency and regeneration frequency.
• 4. Check flow meter: If the unit thinks more water is used than actual, the turbine sensor may be faulty. Inspect and replace if necessary.

When to call a technician: If you cannot achieve reasonable regeneration intervals with correct settings, consult a water treatment professional.
