FAQ

answers to your most common questions

How often does the system regenerate or clean itself?

The system automatically regenerates every 10 days or between 1000-1500 gallons of water usage,
whichever occurs first depending on calcium levels? This ensures consistent performance and water
quality.

How long does my system regenerate during a cycle?

A regeneration cycle typically takes about 1 to 1 1⁄2, running in an on-off pattern throughout the process.

How many bags of potassium or salt should I put in my system?

We recommend adding no more than two bags at a time. Always wait to refill until the tank is almost
empty for proper operation.

Are our systems filtration systems or softeners?

Our systems are designed to function as both filtration systems and water softeners. They are an all-in-
one whole house system ensuring that all water entering your home runs through the filtration process.

Is my irrigation connected to my system?

No. Your irrigation system has a separate shut-off valve, typically located outside the home in the
ground.

Why are my dishes cloudy in the dishwasher?

Cloudiness is often caused by using too much detergent. We recommend using very little detergent and
avoiding dishwasher pods, as they contain too much soap for our system.

How do I reset my system after having it off?

Turn both red valves back to the parallel position, plug the system in, and then reset the clock to the
correct time.

How do I reset my clock?

Press the Set Clock button: at them time of day display.
