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. AL-

WAYS MAKE THE INITIAL CHECKS, AND

THE MANUAL INITIATED DIAGNOSTICS.

NOTE:

The face plate display must show a

steady time (not flashing).

1

.

Press the ON/OFF-HOLD button and hold

in for 3 seconds. RECHARGE NOW begins to

flash as the softener enters the fill cycle of

regeneration. Remove the brinewell cover

and, using a flashlight, observe fill water

entering the tank.

A

.

If it

does not

enter the tank, look for an ob-

structed nozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine

tubing, or brine valve riser pipe.

.

After observing fill, press the ON/OFF-

HOLD 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.

NOTE:

Be sure a salt bridge is not preventing

water with salt contact.

A

.

If the softener does not draw brine

- - nozzle and/or venturi dirty or defective.

- - nozzle and venturi not seated properly on

gasket.

- - restricted drain (check drain fitting and

hose).

- - defective nozzle and venturi seal.

- - other inner valve defect (rotor seal, rotor &

disc, wave washer, etc.).

NOTE:

If water system pressure is low, an

elevated drain hose may cause back pressure,

stopping brine draw.

3

.

Again press ON/OFF-HOLD to move the

softener into backwash. Look for a fast flow

of water from the drain hose.

A

.

An obstructed flow indicates a plugged

backwash flow plug, drain hose, filter screen,

or top distributor.

CAUTION:

Do Not remove the top distributor

from the resin tank. Loss of water softening

resin will occur.

See bottom of page 29.

4

.

Press ON/OFF-HOLD 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.

5

.

To return the softener to service, press ON/

OFF-HOLD.
