I hope you were able to by-pass the system.
There are a few possible causes... do you have a local RainSoft service tech?

It could be something using water during regeneration, like a toilet. It could be a partially kinked/blocked drain line. Or an internal leak in the control valve.

Also compare the 2510SE to a Clack WS-1 and then compare prices for a 2510SE.

I recently compared the Clack WS-1 to the Fleck 2510SE, my research and experience
prove the Fleck valve is in fact a much better valve and value for the end user.

Your experience with Fleck is how long?

I've sold and serviced a couple thousand Fleck valves, including the 1500, 2500 and 2510; they use the same seals, spacers, piston and brine valve among others, and I've rebuilt hundreds of them and Culligan using their version. I've also sold right at 800 Clack control valves. I'll bet that's more experience than you have but... I can also correctly change the settings on any of them, and a Rain Soft which you say you never have done...

The old Rain Soft controls used a mechanical Intermatic timer. You should be able to find a manual on the internet. The newer ones had an electronic timer.

The RainSoft Gold series is a metered version of the Fleck 5600 with digital controls.

What was the model that used the Intermatic timer? That was the one you never messed with changing the settings on.

Laughing LOL!

That would be the old brass valve with the 7 and 14 day timer.
I have refurbished hundreds of these overly complicated valves.
The timer plate has over 70 different parts. The valve has 4 micro switches.
I know them well and I can rebuild them in the dark just by feel.

This is the same valve RainSoft made obsolete a few years ago.
It was replaced with two different bastardized versions of the Fleck 5600.

Yeah yeah brag brag bravado BS but you can't program one!!

So what good does that do someone with one and needing help here.

That timer has been around for 50 years and is very reliable. Which makes me wonder why you had to repair so many of them, AND IN THE DARK.

And you can't program a control valve you supposedly have repaired many of in mere seconds IN THE DARK.
