Control Valve Function and Cycles of Operation
The AC adapter comes with a 15 foot power cord that is designed for use with the control valve.
The AC adapter is for dry location use only.
If the power
goes out, only the time of day needs to be reset. All other settings are permanently stored in the non-volatile memory.
The following chart shows the time for the backwash and rapid rinse cycles for the three available programming options.

Note:
The 3MAPPM Iron Reduction Filtration System is factory preset to program number P7, changing the setting to P8 or P9 is rarely needed. But if a change
is desired, please refer to
“How to Change the Regeneration Program Settings”
on page 3-8.

Power Loss
If the power goes out, current time of day will need to be reset. If the power goes out while the system is
regenerating, the cycle picks up where it was when the power went out.
Error Message
If “E1” “E2” or “E3” appears on the display, contact your Dealer/Installer or our Customer Care Team at
855-3M-WATER (855-369-2837). These are error codes and will need to be resolved before the control
valve will function. These codes indicate that the control valve did not function properly.

General Operation
When operating, the system will either display the current time of day or the days remaining until the next regen-
eration. Use
▲
or
▼
to toggle between the two displays. If the remaining days is at 1, the system will regenerate
at the preset time.
An arrow will appear pointing to REGEN when the system calls for regeneration.
Regeneration Mode
When the system is regenerating, untreated water will be used. Therefore, systems are typically set to regenerate
during times of low water usage—such as when the household is asleep.
During regeneration, the arrow will point to REGEN and the display will change to Regeneration Cycle Display,
indicating the time remaining. The system automatically runs through the steps of regeneration; upon comple-
tion, treated water is ready for use.
