Step 2: Rapid Rinse: factory pre-set for 3 minutes
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 both cycles based on your water conditions through the Master Settings Mode
(see below). If you experience reduced service flow rate and pressure loss due to clogging,
it is recommended that you increase the frequency and/or duration of your backwash. If on
the mornings after a backwash your water is often discolored or has evidence of sediment,
increase the duration of the rapid rinse cycle in 1 minute increments until the problem is
resolved.
During each step of backwash, the touch screen display on the control valve will indicate the
cycle currently underway (regeneration wheel) and the amount of time remaining in that
cycle (top right corner).
There may be instances where more frequent backwash is required. For instance, if your
water consumption increases considerably, or if your feed water conditions temporarily
worsen, you may want to perform a manual backwash. You can choose to initiate a manual
backwash immediately or the next time the backwash time of day is reached:
To initiate a manual backwash:
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 backwash 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
hear the valve motor while it is repositioning the valve at the beginning of each cycle. Once
the motor has stopped moving (no more noise), press the REGENERATION ICON again to
advance to the rinse stage of the regeneration cycle.
The control valve will continue to keep time and the passage of days for a minimum of 48
hours in the event of a power failure.
