Only two of us in the house so water usage is not extreme. It may simply need a confirmation that salt has been added. I have an older hydro quad hq1054. But if you don’t hot of people living in your household, then the settings can be changed for less frequent regeneration. So all water softeners operate in this same way or are there some that are different? Had a pro look at it and he began I have a new Water Right Impression series metered water softener that was installed a week ago. This is why softeners are usually programmed to regenerate at 2am, when it’s unlikely anyone will use the water. i have a whirlpool WHSE30 model that came with my home when i purchased it. Hi Kathy: If you own a WaterTech system, you’ll find the owner’s manual here: http://www.watertech.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/WaterTech_Reionator_Owners_Manual_16-02-010_web.pdf Every once in awhile the RFI pops and shuts the system off, this is a big problem when I don’t know it happens because our water is very hard so it runs re-gen every night. The valve or “control valve” is the ‘brain’ of the softener unit, since it gives the commands as to when the softener regeneration process will occur.

It sounds like you may have a backflow issue. How to diagnose & fix problems with a water softner that runs too long or not long enough.
What is it doing for the rest of the hour?
I recently moved into a home with a 4 year old WaterTech SoftMax system.
one to the tune of over $1000.00……. How long before I notice the difference? If you do happen to use your RO unit while the softener is in regeneration, you will be drawing water from your holding tank. When the unit We have a Whirlpool Water Softener and I began to notice a white powdery residue on my dishes. to no avail. I suppose you could set the valve to not regenerate as often but that will only give you hard water at times and soft water at times. You thoughts?
Thinking it was my dishwasher soap (had used the same kind for yrs) I switched to another brand, Of course, we’re a little biased, but we feel like the softeners at Big Box Stores (http://blog.watertech.com/why-not-buy-a-water-softener-from-a-big-box-home-improvement-store/) aren’t built with the same quality components as systems like the Reionator (http://www.watertech.com/product/reionator-water-softeners/).
It’s sort of like your cell phone–if you have a lot of apps open and are using your phone a lot, you’ll have to charge the phone more often. The side that holds salt is 3/4 full.
The softening resin in the water softener is now clean and ready to soften water again. It may be covered by warranty. Over time, water softener resins get completely covered with hardness minerals and need to be cleaned. A couple of years ago I started having an issue with the water coming out of the house brow it can range in color from light diluted coca color to dark slightly deluted cola.
Hi Peggy, I wish we had answers for you on this one.
I’ve manually regenerated it a couple times but have never heard it regen otherwise, nor have I seen the “regen tonight” code light up on the valve. And, it has used very little salt in the last two weeks. I recently had the But because it appears that a new Whirlpool unit would run about $500 (at Lowes http://goo.gl/VT2Q9q), perhaps enjoy your system a while longer, and the next time it needs parts and service, consider moving to a new system. The water is slimy, is there a way to turn down the softness? and therefore may run out of soft water before the next recharge. We recommend that you have your water, to make sure that the constituents in your water have not changed in the past year. Hi I have a question about my Iron filter I have that has a separate tank where I have to mix water with bleach. Therefore, it is important to know this metric about water softener recharging in time when using a water softener to treat hard water. Hi Charles, first I’d contact your system’s manufacturer to find out if this has been an ongoing issue with your model, and if they have any suggestions. While older water softeners may have been created to recharge on a weekly basis, modern water softeners are more efficient in the recharging process.
junk. My water softener recharges every night at certain time is that normal or not?
When a softener goes into regeneration the system goes on bypass, meaning that the water being used at this time in the house has bypassed the water softener and is not softened water.
