Step 3: Rapid Rinse: factory pre-set for 6 minutes
Step 4: Brine Fill: factory pre-set for 14 to 23 minutes depending on the size of your system
and salt efficiency setting
Each time the softener regenerates, salt water (brine) is needed to recondition the resin in
the water tank. The brine is pulled from the brine tank at a controlled amount. If the salt tank
does not contain enough salt, the brine will be weak and the media will not be fully
reconditioned, and untreated water will pass through.
See “Salt” Below.
Note, unless otherwise stated, all of our water softeners are factory pre-set to operate at high
salt efficiency with capacity and all regeneration settings based on a salt dose of 6 lbs per
cubic foot of resin. Additional capacity can be achieved at higher dose settings if desired.
Please consult your dealer for advice if you would like to re-configure your system at a high
capacity and salt dose. Be aware that such changes will result in a less efficient water
softener and higher salt consumption.
During each step of regeneration, the digital display on the control valve will indicate the
cycle currently underway and the amount of time remaining in that cycle.
Unless directed by a water treatment professional familiar with this system, we do not
generally recommend that you alter the duration of any cycles, however, you can adjust the
duration of all cycles based on your water conditions through the “Master Programming
Mode” (see below).
If your feed water conditions change, you should adjust the hardness level setting. See
“Basic Settings Mode” below.
Manual regeneration:
Touch the REGENERATION ICON. You will be given a choice to either do a regeneration
immediately or to queue a backwash to occur the next time the system reaches the normal
backwash time of day.
Skip through regeneration steps:
There may be times that it may be desirable to skip through backwash steps without
allowing them to fully complete. This would be most typical during servicing. When a cycle
engages, always wait until the motor has stopped before skipping to the next cycle. You can
