Service Settings, Cont.

Operating Modes

The controller has a Timer mode (Mode 1 Frequency and Mode 1 Days of the Week), a Demand Delayed mode (Mode 2), 

and a Demand Immediate mode (Mode 3). Only Mode 2 enables absolute brining. These modes are equipped with Capacity 

Guard®, which ensures that a supply of conditioned water will be available even with excessive water usage. 

Mode 1—Timer Mode

Select “Frequency” or “Days of Week.”
When the appliance is in Mode 1 – Frequency, it will regenerate based on the frequency that is set. For example, every 1 

day up to every 20 days. The days between regenerations can be set in the “Service Settings.” 
When “Frequency” is selected, the next screen displays “Regen Frequency.” Enter the desired number of days (1–20) 

between regenerations.

When “Days of Week” is selected, it will regenerate on a specific day(s) of the week. The next screen displays “Regenera

-

tion Time.” In “Customer Settings,” select the days on which you would like the unit to regenerate.

Mode 2—Demand Delayed Mode

When the appliance is in the Patented Savematic Demand Delayed mode, it will regenerate based on the actual water 

usage and the total capacity of the appliance. The time that the regeneration takes place can be set (for example 02:00am). 

Should the total capacity be depleted before the set regeneration time, a forced regeneration will occur.

Mode 3—Demand Immediate Mode

When the appliance is in the Demand Immediate mode, it will regenerate based on water usage alone. Regeneration will 

occur when the capacity limit is reached. The time of regeneration cannot be set.

72–96 Hour Regeneration

If this value is set to Yes, the appliance will be forced to regenerate every 96 hours unless a regeneration based on water 

usage occurs within the time interval. The value should always be set to Yes if iron is present in the water.

Screen Power Saving Mode

The screen powers off and goes black to save energy. When the screen is touched, it 

wakes up and displays the name and phone number of the dealer.
