If your water system isn’t running at the correct time, it can affect how well your softener or sulfur filter performs. The good news is that reprogramming your system is simple and only takes a few minutes.

In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to properly set the time on both your sulfur filter and water softener system.

Why Setting the Correct Time Matters

For homeowners in Southwest Florida, your system relies on accurate timing to:

  • Regenerate properly

  • Maintain water quality

  • Run efficiently without interruptions

If the time is off, your system may not clean or cycle when it should.

How to Set the Time on Your Sulfur Filter

Follow these simple steps:

Step 1: Press the Clock Button

Locate the clock button on the left-hand side of your sulfur filter.

  • Press it until the hour starts blinking

Step 2: Set the Hour

Use the up and down arrows to adjust the hour.

  • Make sure you are setting AM or PM correctly

Step 3: Set the Minutes

Press the clock button again until the minutes start blinking

  • Use the arrows to set the correct minutes

Step 4: Save Your Settings

Press the clock button one more time.

Your sulfur filter time is now set

How to Reprogram Your Water Softener

Next, move over to your water softener system.

Step 1: Hold the Set Button

Press and hold the set button (typically on the left side)

  • Wait until the hour starts blinking

Step 2: Adjust the Hour

Use the up and down arrows to set the correct hour

  • Look for a small indicator arrow showing AM or PM

Step 3: Set the Minutes

Continue adjusting until the correct time is displayed

Step 4: Confirm the Time

Once both hour and minutes are correct, your system is set

Your water softener is now properly programmed

Quick Monthly Maintenance Reminder

While you’re checking your system time, it’s a good idea to:

  • Fill your salt tank to about ¾ full

  • Add a capful of citric acid

  • Make sure both systems show the correct time

Keeping everything aligned helps your system run smoothly all month long.
