2.

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.

FEATURES / OPTIONS

RECHARGE NOW

wash at any time, use this feature. Press and

hold

in the VAC/RCHG keypad for three seconds until

RCHG

flashes in the display. The filter backwashes

for 25 minutes, followed by a 5 minute fast rinse

cycle. Then the filter returns to service.

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.
