This is how I configured my Aquasure water softener. A properly-configured water softener is more efficient and optimally softens water. These are the settings that I used for my water softener but every home size is different and so is the hardness of the water being softened. #WaterSoftener #HardWater

When water is flowing through softener little water droplet icon on display will be blinking. External spout (as well as underground sprinkler lines) are connected before softener.
I just put my knobs like yours and now it’s counting down again very helpful thank you
My pleasure! Thank you! I’m still loving this water softener. It works great and makes cleaning the kitchen and bathrooms effortless!
This configuration was very helpful. Thank you
Thank you very much!
I have the exact unit, just installed today. Thank you for the tutorial!
Glad I could help!
@@IrixGuyI’m glad I watched! I went through all the steps with you as you showed your programming. The plumber left ours on factory default and it was only 1000 gallons. I used the calculator and it gave me nearly 4000. We live in a very hard water area. I am so glad I found your video. Once again, thank you!
Just moved into a new house with this exact unit. Thank you! Great video!
Awesome! This water softener has continued to work flawlessly for me. Just be sure to keep the salt refilled. I monitor mine and due to my usage add additional salt every few months or so.
I have the same model and helped me understand how it works.
Thanks!
Thank you very much for the kind feedback. Please feel free to subscribe to my channel and check out my other videos too!
Awesome video. I've just moved into a new home and had my unit installed the only difference is that I have the coconut activated carbon as well. I've been having some issues with my water being too salty. The company have been working with me to help troubleshoot. Today I had the plumber here they did some more troubleshooting, hoping that will fix the problem. I think I should have just not ordered the coconut activated tank, only because I have your set up at my other property and never had no issues. Now I've added it to this property and so far it's been a headache. Hopefully this will resolve soon. I'm tired of buying water to cook and drink. This has been going on since February.
Thanks again for the video.
No problem! This Aquasure system has continued to work great for me too! #Aquasure
Came for the explanation of the water softener and stayed for the great insight and gorgeous Tudor 😂
LOL be sure to subscribe and check out my Timepieces for Tomorrow video playlist!
@@IrixGuydone and done!
Mine was counting down had some people do some work and they turned off the water to the house and o turned it on yesterday back on and now my gal isn’t counting down any suggestions how to fix it ?
I noticed that your brine line is running vertical. How far up the wall does it go?
Great question! I’ll have to measure it. My whole-house water filter is up on that wall.
Super thanks
Thanks for the Super Thanks and I linked the water softener like I use within this videos description. As of today, it’s still running flawlessly and my bathrooms and sinks have remained easy to clean!
Thanks!
Thank you so much for sending me a Super Thanks :)
We just purchased this same brand and I am working on laying out design for plumbing. Your re-generation drain tube goes UP? Instruction manual states to have it drain in laundry tub or floor drain.
That’s house my basement was laid out. It works flawlessly for me but every environment is different.
Thanks buddy,
Had the water softener for about a year but I don’t think it’s ever been running for that time😂, the people that we hired didn’t set it up correctly, and added too much of those crystals
YIKES! Be sure to test your water's hardness too using the test strips. I tested my water's hardness before and after water softener installation, to ensure that it's doing its job. I also test water hardness every few months or so too. This thing works great!
Thank you
You're welcome
What are those quick connector you used in the inlet/outlet?
Shark Bites I think.
I just installed this on my home. My wife runs an at-home hair salon, so we use a lot of water. Do you think it's best for me to leave it on the default 1000 gallons setting?
That's a unique use case! I'd suggest calling Aquasure Support. Their customer service is super knowledgeable and friendly.
Thanks for sharing….
Is your drain line going upwards? My setup will be similar.
Any issues with the drain line going upwards?
I’ve had it installed for well over a year now and no issues. The best part is that I no longer have hard water to deal with. Thank you :)
@@IrixGuy perfect thank you!
My water tast salty an the water in the BT is over the salt level is that normal in theses unit
Something doesn’t sound right. I’d suggest calling AquaSure Support. Also, did you install a reverse osmosis system for your refrigerator/faucets that you use for drinking water and ice?
thanks for your video, p.s. love your tudor i own bb58 haha
Black Bay 58 is great! Did you see the new Black Bay Fifty Eight GMT that was revealed a few days ago at Watches & Wonders?
Yes! I actually love it and want it but water softner is a priority.... Got my priority all wrong hha
@@ssong2933 LOL BB58 definitely takes priority. Smart man!
My understanding is the water softener is for your hot water not your exterior hose bibs.
It's great for washing a car =)
I had the same brand water softener installed two years ago. Now it is running or count down like normal, but the system doesn’t pump the salt water into the tank which means I got no salt water come through my house.
Any suggestions please?
Call Aquasure customer service. They are extremely helpful and friendly......a real rarity nowadays!
Question. What is the white round handled thingy? Our plumber didn’t give us a tutorial. I have the same unit as you do.
Where is that piece located?
Oh are you referring to the tool that is used to unscrew the whole-house filter?
@@IrixGuyyes, the round tool. The plumber just hung it on my wall. He didn’t explain anything to us.
Just installed. Does salty taste go away after a bit?
Subscribe and check out my reverse osmosis filter video.
After installing this water softener my water is white !! Please help
I came to watch your video because after installing the same model, I began having low water pressure.
Strange. I never encountered that with mine.
Did you ever figure out how to fix it we have the same problem
Adjust the water pressure valve you should have one by your city meter and a second one from your main shut off to your house... Because these water softener systems will break if pressure is above 80 psi
I wonder why increasing the brine fill time changes water pressure. I think that just fills the brine tank based on minutes.
I've pondered that too! As an update, this water softener is still 100% awesome! I'm so glad that I installed it! #Aquasure
Hi , I like your directions 👍🏼👍🏼
I set mine on 3000 but I was wondering how many are in your family?
It’s just my wife and I so I was wondering .
Thanks! Just my wife, daughter and me.
@@IrixGuy
Thank you.
Our countdown meter ain’t working, both valves are open, gunna try to just set it to the 2am re gen when I get home cause it’s not moving salt
Crazy! You should call Aquasure phone support. Their customer service is excellent!
Mine isnt counting down, just installed it to-day, guess I have to call support Monday because the little plug in wire IS plugged in
If you have on/off valves in your lines that aren’t 100% open, that can cause it to not count. Aquasure Support is amazing! I had to call them to ask some newbie questions and they were beyond helpful!
Did you get it to count down? Mine isn’t counting down as well
Sir, what size of adapter did you use on drain black tubing to your drain pipe?
Great question! Admittedly, I paid a side-gig plumber to connect all of it. I don't think that it's the one-inch though.
@@IrixGuy i tried to buy 1/2 inch adapter because it says on the manual it is 1/2. But it is big. Is that straight pipe upstair?
I’m still having hard time figuring out gallons
I bought 64000 water softener in my area water is 7.5 to 7.8 hard with 5 people living in my house what is my magic number? Can someone help me
You should call AquaSure. Their customer service via phone is exceptional!
@@IrixGuy thanks I will call them Monday
In my house not all faucets go through the softener. Your outside faucet may be direct to water line and not after softener.
All houses are plumbed differently. In my setup, I installed the water softener where the water pipe first enters my houses from the street. Every pipe that water flows through in my house is softened now.
Softened water to the hose bib, great for washing cars, bikes and boats. Not great for plants lol. I run soft water to garages for some people to wash those types of things. But softened water is not great for gardens etc.
@@Foodofthesoul Great point about the garden. Raccoons and deer ate my garden anyway. Softened water definitely makes washing a car more efficient!
There should be a shut off/bypass for the outside so you get regular water for the plants, that's how mine is set up, but to wash the cars, I don't bypass it, I leave it on.
Nice video. What salt you are using? Thanks🎉
Thank you! Expand this video’s description and then the salt is the second link there.
Thank you for quick reply. Question, is your drain is located on second floor?
You shouldn’t use softened water to water plants. Most likely your hose draws water before the softener which is why there was no countdown until the shower came on.
I did connect my outside water to the water softener because I like to wash my cars with softened water.
Outside water spickets shouldn't be connected to the water softener. The sodium is bad for plant life. Could kill all that vegetation in your yard including the grass
It contains a negligible amount of sodium, after passing through the resin beads. The water that passes to my ice makers and refrigerator's water dispenser passes through a reverse osmosis system.
@@IrixGuyare you not supposed to drink the softened water? We just got a cheap water softener. Nothing fancy.
that salt going to kill your grass
I just use it outside to wash my cars. The grass only gets watered by the rain.
Your DIS-play shows the doo-hickey
Yes, Sir!!!!
