I have a Water Pro Water conditioner. Its about 10 years old. It is scheduled to regenerate at the worst time, 1 AM at night. Its so loud that it wakes everybody up in the house. I have tried fiddling with all the buttons, and I havent been able to figure out how to reschedule the regeneration cycle. Is this something that has to be done by a professional?

The visible buttons are (in order): Change, Select, Display, and Regenerate.

Holding down Change or Select does nothing. Pushing Display just says "Customer setting". And holding down Regenerate causes it to do a manual regeneration.

Thats a totally worthless link, has nothing to do with my problem. That link is for water coolers.

I already have done alot of googling and found nothing. Thats why I am posting here.

Any water softener experts out there?

It has a clock on it somewhere. Reset the time to something more convenient. Some are preset to cycle in the early morning hours when there is no water demand. If so, then set the time on the clock off by the number of hours later than 1am that you want it to cycle. In other words, trick the machine into thinking it's 1am when it is really 9am by setting the clock forward 8 hours.

Post a picture of the face of the control valve or, describe it, or search for softeners and find one that has the same brand/model of control valve and find out the brand/model name.

Usually there is a way to change the time of regeneration but not always and you have to lie about what time it is but, you do not want to be using water when a softener is in regeneration because you get raw water past the softener if you use water then. So maybe insulating the ceiling over the unit or the pipes etc. to make it less noisy is a possibility. Or maybe your water pressure is too high and that causes the noise.

Here is a picture, its not real clear. The glare is hiding the 4 buttons. Manufacturer is Water Pro Water Conditioner. I looked all over the unit and saw no clock controls.

That is a very proprietary control valve based on a modified Fleck valve. I don't know that you will find anyone that will work on it but that company's dealer because they probably can't get parts for it if regular Fleck 5600 or 2510 parts won't fit.

hmmm...

Is there any reason you haven't just called the manufacturer and asked them instead of trying in vain to figure it out on google?

You know, if you dont want to provide helpful advice, dont even post a reply.

For the record, I contacted the manufacturer last week, it was not at all helpful. They just told me to contact an authorized reseller/servicer in my area.

The purpose of this forum is to Do It Yourself, and I wanted to see if anybody had experience with this system. Smart alec responses arent helpful. I guess I will contact a serviceman for what should be a very simple adjustment.

To those that have provided helpful tips, thank you.
