Troubleshooting
MANUAL ADVANCE REGENERATION
CHECK
This check verifies proper operation of the valve
motor, brine tank fill, brine draw, regeneration flow
rates, and other controller functions. Always make
the initial checks first, and perform the manually initi-
ated electronic diagnostics.
NOTE:
The display must show a steady time (not
flashing). If an error code shows, first press
the SELECT button to enter the diagnostic
display.
1
. Press the REGENERATION button and hold in for
3 seconds. “RECHARGE”, “Serv” and “Fill” begin
to flash in the display as the softener enters the fill
cycle of regeneration.
2
. When valve reaches “Fill” position, remove the
brinewell cover and, using a flashlight, observe fill
water entering the tank.
3
. If water does not enter the tank, look for an
obstructed nozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine tub-
ing, or brine valve riser pipe.
4
. After observing fill, press the REGENERATION
button to move the softener into brining. A slow
flow of water to the drain will begin. Verify brine
draw from the brine tank by shining a flashlight into
the brinewell and observing a noticeable drop in
the liquid level.
5
. If the softener does not draw brine:
=
nozzle and/or venturi dirty
=
nozzle and venturi not seated properly on gasket
=
restricted drain (check drain fitting and hose)
=
ineffective nozzle and venturi seal
=
other inner valve problem (rotor seal, rotor &
disc, wave washer, etc.)
NOTE:
If water system pressure is low, an elevated
drain hose may cause back pressure, stop-
ping brine draw.
6
. Again press REGENERATION to move the soften-
er into backwash. Look for a fast flow of water
from the drain hose.
7
. An obstructed flow indicates a plugged top distribu-
tor, backwash flow plug or drain hose.
8
. Press REGENERATION to move the softener into
fast rinse. Again look for a fast drain flow. Allow
the softener to rinse for a few minutes to flush out
any brine that may remain in the resin tank from
the brining cycle test.
9
. To return the softener to service, press REGENER-
ATION once more.
