General Operation

User (U) Displays/Settings

When the system is operating one of two displays is shown. Pressing 

NEXT alternates between the displays. One of the displays is always 

the current time of day. The second display is one of the following: 

days remaining or gallons remaining. Days remaining are the number 

of days left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. 

Capacity remaining is the number of gallons that to be treated before 

the system goes through a regeneration cycle. The user can scroll 

between the displays as desired.
If the system has called for a regeneration that occurs at the preset 

time of regeneration, the words REGEN TODAY are displayed.
When water is being treated (that is, water is flowing through the 

system), the word SOFTENING flashes on the display.

If brine tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least 

2 hours before regenerating.

Regeneration Mode 

Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. 

An example of a time with low water usage is when a household is 

asleep.
If there is a demand for water when the system is regenerating, 

untreated water is used.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display changes 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 resets itself to provide treated 

water when the regeneration has been completed.

Manual Regeneration

Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner 

than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as manual 

regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage because 

of guests or a heavy laundry day.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration 

time, when the regeneration time option is set to NORMAL or 

ON 0, press and release REGEN. The words REGEN 

TODAY flash on the display to indicate that the system is set to 

regenerate at the preset delayed regeneration time. If you pressed 

REGEN in error, pressing the button again cancels the request. 

(Note: If the regeneration time option is set to ON 0, there is no set 

delayed regeneration time, so REGEN TODAY does not activate if 

REGEN is pressed.)
To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold REGEN 

for 3 seconds. The system begins to regenerate immediately. The 

request cannot be canceled.

REGENERATION

Sometimes there is a

regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage
because of guests or a heavy laundry day.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regener-
ation time, when the regeneration time option is set to “NORMAL”
or “ on 0”, press and release “REGEN”. The words
“REGEN TODAY” will flash on the display to indicate that the sys-
tem will regenerate at the preset delayed regeneration time. If
you pressed the “REGEN” button in error, pressing the button
again will cancel the request. Note: If the regeneration time
option is 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 request cannot be cancelled.
