GENERAL OPERATION
NORMAL OPERATING DISPLAYS
When the system is operating one of three displays will be shown.
Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One of the
displays is the current time of day. Depending the system
configuration, the second display is one of the following: days
remaining or gallons remaining. Days remaining is the number of days
left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. Capacity
remaining is the number of gallons that will be treated before the
system goes through a regeneration cycle. The third display is an
option and, if used, will show the number of pounds of salt remaining
in the brine tank. The user can scroll between the displays as desired
using NEXT.
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.
When water is being treated (i.e. water is flowing through the
system) the word “Softening” or “Filtering” flashes on the display.
REGENERATION MODE
Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low 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.
MANUAL REGENERATION
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate before the control valve calls for it, usually
referred to as manual regeneration. This is needed when a period of heavy water usage is
anticipated or when the system has been operated without salt.
•
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration
time, press and release “REGEN”. The words “REGEN TODAY” will
flash on the display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the
preset delayed regeneration time.
•
If you pressed the “REGEN” button in error, pressing the button again,
will cancel the command. Note: If the regeneration time is factory set
to “on 0” there is no set delayed regeneration time so “REGEN
TODAY” will not activate if “REGEN” button is pressed.
•
To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the
“REGEN” button for three seconds. The system will begin to
regenerate immediately. The command cannot be cancelled.
POWER LOSS
POWER LOSS & ERROR DISPLAY
If the power goes out for less than two hours, the system will automatically reset
itself. If an extended power outage occurs, the time of day will flash on and off
which indicates the time of day should be reset.
The system will remember the rest.
ERROR MESSAGE
If the word “ERROR” and a number are alternately flashing on the display record
the number and contact the dealer or manufacturer for help. This indicates that
the control valve was not able to function properly.
