HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS

SECTION 2

11

2A.

FACE PLATE TIMER FEATURES

EXTRA RECHARGE

Sometimes, a manually started regeneration

(recharge) may be desired, or needed. Two

examples are:

- - You have used more water than usual (guests

visiting) and you may run out of soft water

before the next timer started regeneration.

- - You did not refill the softener with salt before

it was gone.

You can start a regeneration right away, or you

can set the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00

AM (or other preset recharge time). Do the

following.

RECHARGE NOW

J

Press the ON/OFF--HOLD button and hold

for 3 seconds. The softener enters the fill
cycle of regeneration right away. . .the display
shows ‘‘FillinG NOW’’. This
regeneration will last for
about 2 hours. Then, you will
have soft water again.

RECHARGE TONIGHT

Q

Press and release (DO NOT HOLD) the

ON/OFF-HOLD button. RE-
CHARGE TONIGHT flashes
in the display, and the soften-
er begins regeneration at the
next preset recharge time. Press and release
the ON/OFF-HOLD button once more if you
decide to cancel the regeneration, and RE-
CHARGE TONIGHT.

PROGRAM MEMORY

If electrical power to the softener goes off, the

time display is blank but the face plate timer

keeps the correct time for about 6 hours. When

electrical power comes on again, you 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 timer is incorrect after a long power

outage, the softener works as it should to keep

you water soft. However, regenerations may

occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the

timer to the correct time of day.

ERROR CODE

An error code could appear in

the face plate display if a prob-

lem occurs in the softener elec-

tronics. If you see an error code

instead of the time of day, please

call you local Galaxy Dealer for

service.
