What to do
• Avoid using hot water during water softening
system recharge because the water heater will
refill with hard water. See Automatic Hard Water
Bypass During Recharge section.
• Press MODE/SET button until arrow points to
HARDNESS. Be sure the number shown is the
same as the actual grains per gallon hardness of
your water supply. See Programming the Control
section if a change in setting is needed.
• Water hardness can change over time, especially
in well water. To check, have the water tested
by a water analysis laboratory or call your local
water department. Adjust the Hardness number
setting as needed.
• This is normal. Hardness in water gives it the
abrasive feel you may have been accustomed to.
The slippery feel is the clean feel of soft water.
• See the Adjusting your Water Hardness section.
• Does not use much salt to regenerate - very
efficient.
• See the Breaking a Salt Bridge section.
• See the Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi
Assembly section.
• Have the water tested at once.
• See the Manually Initiated Electronics
Diagnostics section for troubleshooting
procedures.
• Call for service.

• This is called etching and is permanent. To
prevent this from happening, use less detergent
if you have soft water. Wash glassware in the
shortest cycle that will get them clean.
