Advanced troubleshooting for service
AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC
DIAGNOSTICS
This water softener has a
self-diagnostic function for
the electrical system (except
into power and/or water
meter). The water softener
monitors electronic components and circuits for
correct operation. If a malfunction occurs, an
error code appears in the display.
While an error code appears in the display,
all buttons are inoperable except the
MODE/
SET
button.
MODE/SET
remains operational
so the service person can perform the Manual
Advanced Diagnostics, see below, to further
isolate the problem.
Procedure for removing error code from
display:
1. Unplug transformer from electrical outlet.
2. Correct problem.
3. Plug in transformer.
4. Wait 8 minutes. The error code will return if
the problem was not corrected.

Use the following procedures to advance the
water softener through the regeneration cycles
to check operation.
Lift off the Salt Hole Cover, remove the top cover
by unlocking the tabs in the back and rocking
forward, to observe cam and switch operation
during valve rotation.
1. Press and hold
MODE/SET
for 3 seconds
until the Set low salt alarm display appears,
next press the

button two addition
times until “000” shows in the display, then
release, see Figure 15.
2. The 3 digits indicated water meter operation
as follows: If you don’t get a reading on the
display, with faucet open, pull the sensor from
the valve outlet port. Pass a small magnet
back and forth in front of the sensor. You
