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 . All other settings are permanently stored in the nonvolatile memory .
If a power loss occurs and the time of day flashes, 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).

CHECK SALT INDICATOR AND AUDIBLE ALARM:
This control valve (not available on CSP and CSPRC twin
models) is equipped with a Low Salt Warning to alert homeowners that the system is operating in a low salt condition .
This usually indicates that the salt level in the brine tank is too low to operate properly . If “CHECK SALT” appears, there
will usually be an audible alarm that sounds also (if turned on), alerting you to these conditions .
To turn off alarm:
If the audible alarm sounds due to a low salt condition, press any button on the face of the
control valve to turn off . If salt is not added to the brine tank before the next regeneration,
the CHECK SALT indicator will alarm again .
IMPORTANT:
If you feel that the salt level is adequate (at least 1/3 full) in the brine tank, please contact the dealer
that installed your system for service .
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 .
BRINE TANK MAINTENANCE AND SALT:
Refill the brine tank as necessary,
making sure at least 1/3 of the brine tank is full at all times . Without proper salt
levels, the water softener may not operate properly .
The manufacturer recommends the use of solar salt for best results . The brine tank is manufactured for the use of
solar, pellets or rock salt . If pellet or rock salt is used, a cleaning of the brine tank every six months is recommended .
CAUTION:
With some models the manufacturer does NOT recommend the use of
any resin cleaners, nor placing any resin cleaners into the brine tank.
Furthermore, do not use any salt that indicates it is an iron cleaning salt
or that contains any cleaning additives. This may be harmful to the water
softener and for human consumption. Consult dealer for proper cleaning
instructions and agents.
