EXTRA RECHARGE

Sometimes, a manually initiated recharge (regenera-

tion) may be desired, or needed.  Two examples are:

=

You have used more water than usual (guests visit-

ing) and you may run out of soft water before the

next automatic regeneration.

=

You did not add salt to the softener before it ran

out.  Add salt to the softener before regenerating.

You can start a regeneration immediately, or you can

set the controller to regenerate at the next preset

recharge time (2:00 AM, or as set).

RECHARGE NOW

Press the REGENERATION button and hold for 3

seconds, until the words “RECHARGE”, “Serv” and

“Fill” begin to flash in the display.  The softener enters

the fill cycle of regeneration immediately.  This regen-

eration will take about 2 hours to complete.  Then,

you will have soft water again.

NOTE:

If the “Clean Feature” is set ON, the normal

regeneration cycle is preceded by a cleaning

backwash and rinse.  The words “CLEAN”

and “Bkwsh” or “Rinse” flash in the display,

along with the minutes of the clean cycle

remaining.

RECHARGE TONIGHT

Press and release (do not hold) the REGENERATION

button.  “RECHARGE TONIGHT” will begin flashing in

the display, and the softener will begin regeneration

at the next preset recharge time (2:00 AM, or as set).

If you decide to cancel the regeneration before it

starts, press and release the REGENERATION button

once more.  “RECHARGE TONIGHT” will stop flash-

ing in the display.

3.

Press the SET SALT LEVEL button as many times

as necessary to make the salt level bars in the dis-

play (see Fig. 25) match the number on the brine -

well.  At level 2 or below, the “Low Salt" indicator

will flash.

4.

If you want to turn the salt monitor off, press the

SET SALT LEVEL button past 8, until “OFF” shows

in the display next to the number 8.

SALT MONITOR SYSTEM

The water softener has a salt monitor indicator light to

remind you to add salt to the storage tank.

NOTE: You must set salt level each time salt is

added to the water softener.

NOTE:

The salt monitor system estimates salt levels,

and accuracy will vary with different salts.

To set this monitor system:
1.

Lift the salt lid and level the salt in the storage

tank.

2.

The salt level scale, on the brinewell inside the

tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see Fig. 25).

Observe the highest number the leveled salt is at,

or closest to.
