Possible Causes
Hardness set too high, Capacity set too low, Flow sensor mis-reading usage, Internal leak causing constant usage count
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No internal work is required for basic setting changes.
- Step 1 – Review hardness and capacity: Compare programmed hardness to actual water hardness. Reduce if set excessively high.
- Step 2 – Check for leaks: Inspect the home for running toilets or leaks that could cause high water usage.
- Step 3 – Verify flow sensor: With all fixtures off, check if the display shows any flow. If it does, troubleshoot the turbine sensor.
- Step 4 – Adjust reserve setting: If your model allows, adjust the reserve capacity to a more appropriate value for your household.
