NOTE: Under conditions of turbid water and high usage of 
the System, select a Flush/Drain Interval setting appropriate 
to the specific application. Increase frequency of flush/drain 
cycle if the System TMP rises too quickly. Increasing the 
number of Flush/Drain cycles per day will prolong the life of the 
System; however, more water will be used for system cleaning 
purposes.

Controller Functions 

A. Manual Flush

NOTE: For use when the instructions in this manual call for a 
Manual Flush.

To manually flush the System, press NEXT once. “MANUAL” 

flashes on the screen. Press MANUAL FLUSH to open the Drain 

Solenoid Valve. If the MANUAL FLUSH button is held down for 

5 seconds, the Drain Solenoid Valve will remain open for 5 

minutes. To interrupt flushing, press MANUAL FLUSH again. 

The Drain Solenoid Valve will be closed automatically after 5 

minutes if not interrupted.

B. Light and Alarm Function:

The green light on the controller indicates that the System is 

in operation. The green light will be on for 10 months from the 

first commissioning of the System.

  

WARNING: 

The green light is NOT an 

indication of the integrity of the membrane inside the 

System.

At the start of the System’s 11th month of operation, the 

yellow service indicator light will come on. This is an indication 

that the System’s Annual Maintenance is required.
After 11½ months of operation, the yellow service indicator 

light will begin to flash and an audible alarm will start to beep.
To temporarily silence the alarm, depress and hold the UP and 

DOWN arrows together for three seconds. The alarm will come 

back on in seven days after this command is executed.
To permanently turn the alarm off, depress and hold the UP 

and DOWN arrows together and press ENTER. 
 “A oF” (alarm off) will appear on the screen. To turn the alarm 

on again, repeat the above step. “A on” (alarm on) will appear 

on the screen.

The yellow service indicator light and the alarm can only 

be reset by a Homespring Authorized Technician during the 

Annual Maintenance.
