Manual Regeneration
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system, sooner than when the system calls for
it, usually referred to as manual regeneration. There may be an unexpected period of heavy
water usage.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, press and
release “REGEN”. The words “REGEN TODAY” will flash in left corner of display as it
scrolls through displays to indicate that the system will regenerate at the preset delayed
regeneration time. If you pressed the “REGEN” button in error, pressing the button
again will cancel the request.
To initiate a manual regeneration immediately,
press and hold the “REGEN” button for five seconds. The system will begin to regen-
erate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled. You must cycle all the way through the cycles to make it stop. PLEASE NOTE:
This will reset the meter.
Note: If the salt tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating. If two regenerations
are desired within 24 hour period, press /release REGEN button. REGEN TODAY will flash on screen. Press and hold REGEN
button until valve initiates regeneration.

CYCLE TIME ADJUSTMENTS
Normally it is not recommended to adjust the lengths of the cycle times. However, certain water conditions may
dictate adjustments. This should only be done from the recommendation of a water conditioning professional.

Regeneration Mode
Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. If there is a demand for water
when the system is regenerating, untreated water will be supplied.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include information about the
step of the regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to be completed (see figure
11). The system runs through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water
when the regeneration has been completed.
