    Softener regen trips UV sensor

    I have a Viqua VH410M UV light which includes a UV sensor. There's a solenoid valve that will shut off if the sensor detects less than a certain UV intensity (I think 50%). Every so often the UV sensor trips but the UV light still functions so I do one 12-hour manual override and it keeps...

    Can twin-tank softener be scheduled to regenerate at night

    One of the drawbacks of a twin-tank softener seems to be that as soon as tank A uses the preset amount of water it will switch to tank B and immediately start regeneration. Of course that happens when you are using water which is likely during the day when you most need it. With a large tank...
