REGENERATION MODES
The AWS series controllers can be regenerated either automatically or manually. During a regeneration, the total time remaining of the regeneration, the total time
remaining of the regeneration will be displayed on the controller. The current cycle is shown in the lower left of the display.
Regeneration Cycle Indicators
C0 = Treated Water - normal operation mode (not displayed)
C1 = Backwash Cycle
C2 = Brine Draw Cycle
C3 = Slow Rinse Cycle
C4 = System Pause
C5 = Fast Rinse Cycle 1
C6 = Backwash Cycle 2
C7 = Fast Rinse Cycle 2
C8 = Brine Refi ll

To advance cycles during a regeneration (manual or automatic):
•
Press and hold the SET button. The current cycle number, (Ex. C1) will be displayed along with the time remaining for that
individual cycle.
•
When holding the SET button, simultaneously press the UP button, and release to advance to the next cycle. While the motor
is running, an hourglass icon will be displayed.
•
Repeat this process for each cycle until the system is back into the treated water mode.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• When the controller gets to cycle C4 (Pause cycle), there may be a slight delay before the controller can be advanced onto cycle C5.
• Not all regeneration cycles may be used. A cycle will be skipped if it is not required by the current program.

Hourglass starts to fl ash
To cancel a regeneration (either manual or automatic):
•
Press and hold the SET button and UP buttons simultaneously and hold until the hourglass icon starts fl ashing (approximately 5 seconds).
•
The regeneration is cancelled.
•
The camshaft rotates to the treated water position (may take up to 2 min.)
•
Hourglass fl ashes while motor runs.
If a second regeneration was programmed (display shows a 2X by the regeneration icon) both regenerations must be cancelled separately.
IMPORTANT NOTES
• Cancelling a regeneration may cause undesirable or salty water to go into the plumbing. Only use this function when absolutely necessary.
• If the regeneration cycle is cancelled after the brine draw cycle (C2), check the water level in the brine tank. It must be refi lled to the proper level.
