General Operation

When  the  system  is  operating,  one  of 

several displays may be shown.  Pressing 

NEXT will alternate between the displays.  

One of the displays is the current time of 

day.  The second display  is the follow-

ing: days to a regen/gallons remaining.  

Days To A Regen is the number of days 

left  before  the  system  goes  through  a 

regeneration  cycle.    Capacity  remain-

ing is the number of gallons that will be 

treated before the system goes through 

a regeneration cycle.  The third display 

is current flow in gal/min.   The user can 

scroll  between  the  displays  as  desired 

by  pushing  NEXT  or  display  will  scroll 

automatically.
When water is being treated (i.e. water 

is flowing through the system) the word 

"GPM"  flashes on left side of display when 

other than flow rate is displayed.

Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the system calls 

for it, usually referred to as manual regeneration.  There may be a period of heavy water 

usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day.

To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, press and 

release “REGEN”.  The words “REGEN TODAY” will flash in left corner of display as 

it scrolls through displays to indicate that the system will regenerate at the preset 

delayed regeneration time.  If you pressed the “REgEN” button in error, pressing the 

button again will cancel the request. 

To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the “REGEN” button for five seconds.  The system will begin to regen-

erate immediately.  The request cannot be cancelled.  You must cycle all the way through the cycles to make it stop.  PLEASE NOTE:  

This will reset the meter.

 

Note:  If the salt tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.  If two regenerations 

are desired within 24 hour period, press /release REGEN button.  REGEN TODAY will flash on screen.  Press and hold REGEN 

button until valve initiates regeneration.
