Softener regenerates too frequently, wasting salt and water (no code).

Safety: No hazardous work is required for basic checks.

• 1. Verify hardness: Test the raw water hardness and adjust the programmed hardness accordingly.
• 2. Check capacity and reserve: Ensure the programmed capacity matches the resin volume and that the reserve is not set excessively high.
• 3. Inspect for cross-connections: Ensure there is no plumbing loop that allows water to flow backward through the meter (e.g., incorrect bypass piping).
• 4. Test meter accuracy: Compare the meter reading to a known volume of water. Replace the flow meter if it over-registers significantly.
