No additive, it is pure salt.
Good, had me going for a bit..
Zeolite does not like additives in the salt.
Move the default days and up the back wash time and it should get back to working.
Is the smell coming from the cold water and hot or just hot? Also is the smell more prevalent at one particular faucet? Has the water been tested for iron bacteria? The chlorine generator has an adjustment from 10% on up and it may be a matter of having to turn the chlorine generator up depending on the H2S, iron bacteria or sulfate bacteria levels. A 10 x 54 sanitizer should have 28 lbs of KDF 85. Many dealers are nor adding the KDF media because of the expense of the media.
Has the water been consistently soft?

The older WaterRight systems did not have an adjustable chlorine generator.. It came on and then turned off when the time was up.
Now it is possible that the chlorine generator is not giving all that it should but still in the range that the program is looking for to set the yellow light and beep.
How long now has the system been running with the changed settings?
No disposable filter and thx for your process suggestion without one....I think you might have bacteria growth somewhere in the softener or in the plumbing.
Do you have any disposable cartridge filters anywhere in the system?
If so you might want to do this; remove the cartridge and put a 1/2-2/3rds liquid cup of non scented bleach in the housing and run water to all faucets in the house one at a time checking for chlorine smell with a glass as the water is running, bending over with your nose on the rim of the glass so you can smell the air coming out of the glass. That's so you don't run out of bleach before you're done with the last faucet. When done let the water sit in the plumbing for at least a half hour before flushing it out.
If no disposable filter, then a 1/3 cup of bleach in a gallon of water poured into the water in your salt tank and do a manual regeneration pulling the plug on the control valve and putting the control in the by pass position when all the water that can be sucked out of the salt tank has been. Wait 30 minutes and plug the control in and put the by pass in Service and allow the unit to finish the regeneration.
I guess you could call or contact Greenway or Clack. Or whoever you bought the thing from but...
If the programing has you locked out and you don't have instructions on how to unlock it, you need the instructions either verbally over the phone as you unlock it or in print for use now and in the future. No?
By pushing buttons attempting to get it to change the programming, you can lock it yourself.

This is awkward, but...
