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 ON/OFF-HOLD button and hold for 3 sec-

onds, until the words “RECHARGE”, “Serv” and “Fill”

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.

NOTE:

If the “Clean Feature” is set ON, the normal

regeneration cycle is preceded by a cleaning

backwash and rinse.  The words “CLEAN” and

“Bkwsh” or “Rinse” flash in the display, along

with the minutes of the clean cycle remaining.

RECHARGE TONIGHT

Press and release (do not hold) the ON/OFF-HOLD

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 ON/OFF-HOLD button once

more.  “RECHARGE TONIGHT” will stop flashing in the

display.

3.

Press the SALT LEVEL ADJUST button as many times

as necessary to make the salt level bars in the dis-

play (see Fig. 24) match the number on the brinewell.

4.

If you want to change the level that the “Low Salt”

indicator comes on, press the SIGNAL LIGHT

ADJUST button as many times as necessary to make

the highest star (*) in the display (see Fig. 24) match

the number on the brinewell.  For example, if you set

the highest star at level 2, then the “Low Salt" indi-

cator will flash when the salt level is at level 2 or

below.

5.

If you want to turn the salt monitor off, press the

SIGNAL LIGHT ADJUST button several times, until

“OFF” shows in the display next to the number 8.

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.
