3.2 Displays and Instructions
3.2.1 General Operation
When the system is operating, one of four following displays may be shown. Pressing NEXT will toggle between the
displays. The user can scroll between the displays as desired:
1. Current “ TIME OF DAY ” and “ GPM ”.
2. FLOW RATE is the current treated water flow rate through the system measured in GPM.
3. CAPACITY REMAINING is the gallons that will be treated before the system signals a regeneration cycle.
4. DAYS TO A REGEN is the number of days left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle, based on the
days override value.
If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the preset time of regeneration, the words “ REGEN TODAY ”
will appear on the display.
If a water meter is installed, “ GPM ” flashes on the display when water is being treated, indicating gallons per minute going
through the system.
3.2.2 Regeneration Mode
Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of no water usage. If there is a demand for water when the system is
regenerating, untreated water will be delivered. When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include
information about the step of the regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to be completed. The system
runs through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water when the regeneration has been
completed.
3.2.3 Manual Regeneration
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate before the control valve calls for it. This may be needed if a period of heavy
water use is anticipated or when the system has been operated without salt.
1. To initiate a manual regeneration at the next preset regeneration time, press and release REGEN . “REGEN TODAY”
will flash on the display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the next regeneration time (set in Section 3.1.2 ,
steps 4 and 5). If REGEN button is pressed by mistake, press the same button again to cancel the command.

• Regeneration hours: Press NEXT or press REGEN to return to the previous step.
Note: The manufacturer has factory set 2/:00 A.M. as the default. This is the hour of day

The default time is 2:00 A.M. (recommended for a normal household).
