Regeneration Mode
Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with
low water usage is when a household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system
is regenerating, untreated water will be used.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include information about the step of the regeneration process and
the time remaining for that step to be completed. The system runs through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide
treated water when the regeneration has been completed.
Manual Regeneration
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the system calls for it, usually
referred to as manual regeneration. There may be a period of heavy
water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration
time, when the regeneration time option is set to “NORMAL” or
“ on 0”, press and release REGEN. The words “REGEN
TODAY” will
fl ash on the display to indicate that the system will
regenerate at the preset delayed regeneration time. If you pressed REGEN in error, pressing the
button again will cancel the request. Note: If the regeneration time option is set to “on 0” there is no set delayed regeneration time
so “REGEN TODAY” will not activate if “REGEN” button is pressed.
To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold REGEN for three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate
immediately. The request cannot be cancelled.
Note: For softeners, if brine tank does not contain salt, fi ll with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.
Power Loss
If the power goes out, the system will keep time for up to 8 hours or until the battery is
depleted. If a power outage of more than 8 hours occurs, the time of day will
fl ash on and off
which indicates the time of day should be reset. The system will remember the rest. If a power
outage lasts less than 8 hours and the time of day
fl ashes on and off, the non rechargeable
battery should be replaced.
Error Message
If the word “ERROR” and a number are alternately
fl ashing on the display contact the OEM
for help. This indicates that the valve was not able to function properly.
Set Time of Day
The user can also set the time of day. Time of day should only need to be set after power
outages lasting more than 8 hours, if the battery has been depleted and a power outage
occurs, or when daylight saving time begins or ends. If a power outage lasting more than 8
hours occurs, the time of day will
fl ash on and off which indicates the time of day should
be reset. If a power outage lasts less than 8 hours and the time of day fl ashes on and off, the
time of day should be reset and the battery replaced.
