PROGRAM MEMORY

If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time

display is blank but the electronic controller keeps the

correct time for several hours.  When electrical power

comes on again, you will have to reset the present

time only if the display is flashing.  The HARDNESS

and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless

a change is desired.  Even if the clock is incorrect

after a long power outage, the softener works as it

should to keep your water soft, however, regenera-

tions may occur at the wrong time of day until you

reset the clock to the correct time of day.

CLEANSING FEATURE

The cleansing feature keeps larger particles of sedi-

ment from entering the home’s plumbing system.  As

water passes through the softener, the larger sedi-

ment particles are collected in the integrated basket

and then rinsed to the drain before each regenera-

tion.  The cleansing feature provides added protection

for water using appliances by reducing the chance of

larger particles entering the various products valves

and screens.  The “Clean Feature” may be turned ON

to provide an extra backwash that will help keep the

cleansing screen clean.  The default is OFF.

IMPORTANT:

The cleansing feature is not intended to

replace pretreatment filtration.  For

problem water applications, additional

sediment filtration is recommended.

TANK LIGHT

To turn on the light inside the salt storage tank, press

the TANK LIGHT button on the faceplate.  Press this

button again to turn the light off.  It will also turn off

automatically after 15 minutes.

RECHARGE TIME REMAINING & VALVE

POSITION INDICATORS

One of the valve position indicators (Serv, Fill, Brine,

Bkwsh, Rinse) is displayed while the softener is

recharg ing.  RECHARGE flashes in the display and,

beginning with Brine, the minutes of recharge remain-

ing before return to service appears in place of the

present time.  When the valve is moving from one

cycle to another, both position indica tors are flashing.

WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER

If soft water is in use, the water flow bars continually

scroll across the display.  The bars scroll slowly when

water flow is slow, and move faster as water flow

increases.  The flow bars do not show when all

faucets and water using appliances are off.
