Introduction

The Model 960 Control provides sophisticated, 
demand-based water conditioning by incorporating a 
microprocessor and a water meter to electronically 
monitor the amount of water used daily. Each day, at 
Time of Regeneration, the control determine if the 
capacity remaining is sufficient to provide conditioned  
Water for the next day. If the remaining capacity is 
too small, the control automatically regenerates the 
resin bed. 
 
 If water usage changes, the computer automatically  
compensates for the change and regenerates as 
needed. Regeneration based on actual water usage. 
The control provides efficient, trouble-free, uninter-
rupted soft water luxury. 
 
The Series 255 valve combines design simplicity with 
glass reinforced NORYL* plastic construction to 
provide an uncommonly reliable appliance. 
 
If maintenance becomes necessary, the Model 960 
Series 255 water Conditioner System offer a unique 
"separation" capability for quick repairs. 
 
NORYL is a trademark of GE Plastics. 
 

Special Features 

 

 

Memory Retention. 

During a power outage, 

critical operating information in the control's 
memory is stored in a special electronic device 
called a NOVARAM. This information includes the 
time of day, water usage amounts, daily average 
water usage, all programming data and the 
number of days since the last regeneration. When 
power is restored, the information is re-turned to 
the microprocessor and operation resumes as if 
an outage never occurred. The time of day will be 
late by the length of the power outage. Because 
most power outages are less than one minute in 
duration, it may be months or years before the 
time display requires resetting. If an outage of one 
or more hours occurs, the time of day should be 
reset but no other reprogramming is necessary. 

 

Design Reliability. 

Solid-state electronics assure 

many years of trouble-free performance. The 
metering system has only one moving part; a 
rotating turbine that measures water usage. 

 

Time and Capacity Display. 

During normal 

conditioning operation, the correct time of day 
alternates with capacity on the display. The 
capacity value is the number of gallons (cubic 
meters of metric units) of water that the unit can 
condition before another regeneration is needed. 

 

Flow indicator. 

The colon between the hours and 

the minutes in the Time of Day display flashes to 
indicate the flow of service water through the 

valve. This provides an easy determination of 
proper meter operation. 

 

Hardness and Capacity Settings. 

Once the 

hardness and capacity settings are entered, the 
information cannot be lost due to a power outage, 
so reprogramming is not necessary.

 

 

Guest Cycle. 

An extra regeneration can be 

achieved at any time by pressing the REGEN 
button on the front panel. It takes a few minutes 
for the regeneration to start. The unit completes 
the regeneration in about two hours. This feature 
is beneficial when you expect to use more than 
the normal amount of water; for example, guest 
visits or an extra heavy laundry day.

 

 

General Conditioner Information 

 

How you're Conditioner Works 

 

In general, your water conditioner works in the follow-
ing manner. Hard water flows into the conditioner and 
through the resin bed where calcium and magnesium 
hardness minerals are exchange. The conditioned 
water flows out of the resin bed into your plumbing 
system. After a certain amount of hard water has 
passed through the conditioner, the resin cannot 
remove any more minerals. This resin state is called 
exhaustion and indicates that the resin needs to be 
regenerated. The regeneration process restores the 
conditioner's ability to soften water. The control 
monitors the amount of water that flows through the 
conditioner and automatically calculates when to 
regenerate the resin bed.
