Debugging household water softeners is a key step in ensuring the normal operation of the equipment and meeting the standards for effluent quality. Here is a setGeneral Debugging Procedure GuideSuitable for most fully automatic household water softeners:

---

1、 Preparation for household water softener

✅ Inspection items:

1. Is the installation complete?(Connect the inlet and outlet, power supply, and sewage outlet)

Open the inlet valve, slowly introduce water, and open the drain valve,Rinse for 5-10 minutesUntil the water is clear.

2 ️ Regeneration once (manually triggered)

Manually start once“Forced regeneration”Program to fully regenerate the resin once (approximately 1 hour).

3. Check the drainage outlet

Ensure smooth drainage without blockage or backflow.

4. Check the hardness of the water outlet

UseWater hardness testing agent(EDTA method or test paper) The normal concentration of tested water should be ≤ 50 ppm.

4、 Suggestions for using household water softeners

• Regularly add salt:Salt box maintains 1/3-2/3 salt level

• Replace resin every 2-3 years(Depending on water quality and dosage)

• Cut off water and power when traveling far away to prevent abnormal operation of the system
