PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION
Softener delivers hard water. Reserve capacity has been exceeded. Check salt dosage requirements and
reset program wheel to provide addi-
tional reserve.
Program wheel is not rotating with
meter output. Pull cable out of meter cover and rotate
manually. Program wheel must move
without binding and cycle actuator must
start the cycle before the clutch
releases.
Meter is not measuring flow. Check output by observing rotation of
small gear on front of timer
(Note: Program wheel must not be
against regeneration stop for this check)
Each tooth is approximately 75 gallons
on 1-1/2
″ installations. If not performing
properly, replace meter.
