FEATURES & TERMINOLOGY 

(CONTINUED)

FLOW RATE INFORMATION

FEED WATER PARAMETERS

Total Regeneration

The total number of times the softener has regenerated. 

Historical Total Gallons

Total gallons treated by the softener.

Overrun Total

How many times soft water recharge was required due to high usage.

Current Flow Rate

It will only display if treated water is running, otherwise, it will read  

zero (0).

Valve Mode

Current valve setting, such as Softener Upflow (UF). You can unlock the  

circuit board as directed and press the down arrow to stop the scrolling. 

You can then use the down arrow to go to each of the diagnostics as 

required. 

System Bypass

 

All systems come with a manual bypass valve which allows you to 

bypass the 85UF/DF. This allows raw untreated water to be used in your 

home for any reason, including system servicing. 

Hardness

This can be adjusted seasonally if needed. The installer usually sets this 

for the worst case scenario, where water hardness fluctuates. 

Peak Flow

Maximum flow that has gone through the softener. 

Manual Regen Delay

Generally, used after servicing the valve so that it will regenerate at a 

standard pre-set time.

At the stated service flow rates, the pressure drop through these devices will not exceed 15 psig.
Peak flow rates are intended for intermittent use only (10 minutes or less) and are for residential applications only. Do not use peak flow rate for 

commercial applications or for a continuous rate when treated water supplies are geothermal heat pump, swimming pool, etc.
For satisfactory operation, the pumping rate of the well system must equal or exceed indicated backwash flow rate.

Maximum Iron**

 = 2.0 ppm ferrous (clear water iron)

Maximum Hydrogen Sulfide

 = 0.0 ppm

Maximum Manganese

 = 0.75 ppm ferrous (clear 

water)

pH

 = 6.5 to 8.5 with 

no

 iron or manganese present 

pH

 = 6.5 to 7.5 with iron or manganese present

**See System Maintenance Section - Resin Cleaner

 

NOTE

See 

Start-Up Instructions - Problem Water Injector 

Kit

 if you have iron in your water and are installing an 

upflow water softener.
