Automatic Bypass
The regeneration cycle lasts approximately 75 minutes, after which soft water service will be restored.
During regeneration, hard water is automatically bypassed for use in the household. Hot water should be
used as little as possible during this time to prevent hard water from filling the water heater. This is why
automatic regeneration is set for sometime during the night and manual regenerations should be
performed when little or no water will be used in the household.
Safety Float
The brine tank is equipped with a safety float which prevents your brine tank from overfilling as a result of
a malfunction such as a power failure.
New Sounds
You may notice new sounds as your water softener operates. The regeneration cycle lasts approximately
2-1/2 hours. During this time, you may hear water running intermittently to the drain.
