Controller Features
EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually initiated recharge (regeneration)
may be desired, or needed. Two examples are:
=
You have used more water than usual (guests visiting)
and you may run out of soft water before the next
automatic regeneration.
=
You did not add salt to the softener before it ran out.
Add salt to the softener before regenerating.
You can start a regeneration immediately, or you can
set the controller to regenerate at the next preset
recharge time (2:00 AM, or as set).
RECHARGE NOW
Press the REGENERATION button and hold for 3 sec-
onds, until the words “RECHARGE NOW” begin to
flash in the display. The softener enters the fill cycle of
regeneration immediately. This regeneration will take
about 2 hours to complete. Then, you will have soft
water again.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
Press and release (do not hold) the REGENERATION
button. “RECHARGE TONIGHT” will begin flashing in
the display, and the softener will begin regeneration at
the next preset recharge time (2:00 AM, or as set). If
you decide to cancel the regeneration before it starts,
press and release the REGENERATION button once
more. “RECHARGE TONIGHT” will stop flashing in the
display.

SALT MONITOR SYSTEM
The water softener has a salt monitor indicator light to
remind you to add salt to the storage tank.
NOTE: You must set salt level each time salt is added
to the water softener.
NOTE:
The salt monitor system estimates salt levels, and
accuracy will vary with different salts.
To set this monitor system:
1.
Lift the salt lid and level the salt in the storage tank.
2.
The salt level scale, on the brinewell inside the tank,
has numbers from 0 to 8 (see Fig. 24). Observe the
highest number the leveled salt is at, or closest to.
3.
Press the SELECT button once, and the words “SET
SALT LEVEL” should show in the display.
