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.
•
To initiate a manual regeneration
at the next preset regeneration time,
press and release
REGEN
. The words “REGEN TODAY” will flash on the
display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the next regeneration
time (set in Programming, steps 4 and 5).
If you pressed the
REGEN
button
in error, pressing the button again will cancel the command.
•
To initiate a manual regeneration
immediately,
press and hold the
REGEN
button for three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately.
This command cannot be cancelled.
Once a manual regeneration is initiated, the unit will enter the first regeneration
cycle. Once the unit advances to its first position and subsequent positions
thereafter (see Start Up Instructions for regeneration sequence), the water filter
will deliver water, but it will be untreated.

POWER LOSS AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
The transformer comes
with a 15 foot power cord and is designed for use with the control valve; the
transformer should only be used in a dry location.
In the event of a power outage, the control valve will remember all settings and time of
day. If an extended power outage occurs, the control valve will keep time of day until
the battery is depleted. When the battery becomes depleted, the only item that needs
to be reset is the time of day and will be indicated by the time of day flashing or by a
blank screen. All other settings are permanently stored in the nonvolatile memory.
If a power loss occurs and the time of day flashes or a blank screen occurs, this
indicates that the battery is depleted. The time of day should be reset and the non-
rechargeable battery should be replaced. The battery is a 3 Volt Lithium Coin Cell
type 2032 and is readily available at most stores. To access battery location, remove
front cover (
see diagram on page 18 for battery location).
6.
AUDIBLE ALARM:
This control valve is equipped with an audible alarm and
visual alarm. This alarm is set by the installing dealer and is used to warn of
pending service, based on gallons or time.
To turn off alarm:
If the audible alarm sounds, press any button on the
face of the control valve to turn off and call the dealer for service.
To reset:
Both the gallon alarm setting and time alarm setting are reset
together by pushing and holding the + and – simultaneously for three seconds.
7.
ERROR MESSAGE:
If the word “ERROR” appears and flashes alternately with the
dealer name and phone number, record the ERROR number and your contact servicing
dealer promptly. This indicates that the control valve was not able to function properly.
8.
CHLORINE TANK AND MAINTENANCE:
In severe cases where iron or sulfate bacteria conditions exist, the dealer
may have installed a chlorine tank with your system
(see diagram, page 7)
. These bacteria are harmless to human
health, however they can produce a slime and occasionally an odor that can be a nuisance. Filters equipped with a
chlorine tank will periodically draw a chlorinated water solution into the filter tank killing these unwanted bacteria within
the filter itself. The chlorine is rinsed from the system during the regeneration process. More specifically, a small amount of
water will be added to the tank just prior to regeneration; this comes in contact with the chlorine pellets, dissolves them,
and is drawn into the filter to disinfect the system periodically.
We recommend the use of pellets manufactured by Better Water Industries, available through your dealer. Periodically
check storage tank and add two or three chlorine tablets (two or three grams) at a time.
CAUTION:
This tank has many intended uses. If chlorine is being used, only add two or
three pellets (two or three grams) of chlorine at a time. We recommend Better
Water Industries chlorine pellets. Do not overfill container. Use rubber gloves
when handling pellets. Always read safety precautions of chemical container
before adding to tank. Keep out of reach of children!
If chlorine is being used, never add or mix any chemical in chlorine tank other
than chlorine. Only use in well ventilated area. Chlorine gas can be corrosive and
harmful. Inhalation of chlorine gas can be deadly. Use drip pan underneath tank
in case of corrosion or leaking of tank.
