Possible Cause
a. Bypass valve in bypass.
b. Meter probe disconnected
or not fully connected to
meter housing.
c. Restricted meter turbine
rotation due to foreign
material in meter !
d. Defective meter probe.
a. Misaligned optical sensor.
a. Improper regeneration.
b. Incorrect salt setting.
c. Incorrect hardness or
capacity settings.
d. Water hardness has
increased.
e. Restricted meter turbine
rotation due to foreign
material in meter !

Solution
a. Shift bypass valve to not-in-
bypass position.
b. Fully insert probe into meter
housing.
c. Remove meter housing, free
up turbine and flush with
clean water. Turbine should
spin freely. If not, replace
meter. (Contact dealer.)
d. Replace meter cable (Contact
dealer.)
a. Replace optical sensor.
(Contact dealer.)
a. Repeat regeneration, making
certain that correct salt
dosage is used.
b. Set salt control to proper level.
See salt setting chart.
c. Set to correct values. See
Programming section.
d. Set hardness to new value.
See Programming section.
e. Remove meter housing, free
up turbine and flush with
clean water. Turbine should
spin freely; if not, replace
meter. (Contact dealer.)
