Press and hold the VAC/RCHG keypad for three
seconds until RCHG begins to flash in the display,
starting a backwash. This backwash flushes “fines”
from the new mineral, and purges air and bleach, re-
maining from the sanitizing procedure. The filter re-
turns to service in about 45 minutes.
3. RESTART THE WATER HEATER:
Turn on the
electric or fuel supply to the water heater, and light
the pilot, if applies.
Note:
The water heater is filled
with unfiltered water and, as hot water is used, it re-
fills with filtered water. In a few days, hot water will
be fully filtered. To have fully filtered water immedi-
ately, wait until the recharge (step 2 above) is over.
Then, drain the water heater until water runs cold.
THE SOLID STATE TIMER IS NOW PRO-
GRAMMED AND INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

wash at any time, use this feature. Press and

er long absence, press (DO NOT HOLD IN) the VAC/

TIMER “POWER--OUTAGE MEMORY”
-- If electri-
cal power to the timer goes off, the “memory”built
into timer circuitry keeps
all
settings for at least two
days or more. The display is blank and the filter will
not backwash. When electrical power comes on,
one of two things will happen.
1. The present time of day will show, meaning the
timer memory has kept all settings.
Note:
If the filter was
in
a backwash when power
was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
2. The display will show a time, but it will be flashing.
The timer memory did
not
keep the time settings and
they must be reset.
The flashing display is to remind you to reset the
timer.
Notes:
When power comes on, the flashing display returns
to a time of 12:00 AM SUnday, then begins to keep
time again. If you do not reset all time settings, the
filter will backwash three days each week (default
time). However, backwash may be on the wrong
days and at the wrong time.
If the filter was in a backwash when power went off,
the valve will return to service position without finish-
ing the cycle. If your water is unfiltered, use the RE-
CHARGE NOW feature to start another cycle.
