Manual Regeneration (Backwash)
Manual regeneration can be performed at any time.
To schedule a regeneration to occur at the next delayed
regeneration time of day:
Press and release the REGEN button.
“Regen Today” will flash on the display and the regeneration will occur at
the preset delayed regeneration time. The regeneration can be cancelled
by pressing and releasing the REGEN button. This method of manually
initiating regeneration is not allowed when the system is set to “on 0”
(meter immediate), because there is no preset meter delay time.
“REGEN TODAY” will flash if a
regeneration is expected “Tonight”.
To begin an immediate regeneration:
Press and hold the REGEN button for approximately 3 seconds. The
regeneration will begin immediately. This cannot be cancelled, except by resetting the control by pressing NEXT
and REGEN buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
The control valve may be stepped through the various regeneration cycles by pressing the “REGEN” button.
Sometimes it is desirable to have the valve initiate and complete two regenerations within 24 hours and then return to the
preset regeneration procedure. It is possible to do a double regeneration if the control valve is set to “NORMAL” or
“ on 0”. To enact a double regeneration:
1. Press the “REGEN” button once. REGEN TODAY will flash on the display.
2. Press and hold the “REGEN” button for three seconds until the valve regeneration initiates.
Once the valve has completed the immediate regeneration, the valve will regenerate one more time at the preset
regeneration time.
Additional Control Valve Functions
Water Usage Monitoring
The metered control valve will display actual water usage for the last 63 days. The values are initially stored as
“----”. This means the value is unknown. As days pass values are stored as “0” for no flow or the actual number of gallons.
The counting of the gallons starts at the regeneration time. If no regeneration time can be set (i.e. when the valve is set for
immediate regeneration) the counting of gallons starts at 12 a.m. Day 1 is yesterday, day 2 the day before yesterday, etc.
As new values are added the oldest history disappears.
Power Loss
Only the current time of day will need to be reset if power is lost for greater than 8 hours. If power is lost while the system
is regenerating, the control will complete regeneration at the point of interruption once power is restored.
