CHANGING TIME OF DAY
During regular service mode, the digital display will alternate between the current time of day and
the number of days until the next scheduled regeneration. For proper operation, it is important that
the valve display the correct time of day. To change the time of day, press either the UP or DOWN
button and hold for a few seconds. The “programming” icon will appear. Use the UP and/or
DOWN buttons to change the time displayed to the correct time of day. Once the display shows the
correct time, press the EXTRA CYCLE button to save your changes.
USER PROGRAMMING MODE
The User Programming Mode allows you to set the frequency of regeneration and the time of day
that regeneration will take place.
To enter the User Programming Mode, press the UP and DOWN arrows at the same time and hold
for 5 seconds until the “programming” mode icon appears. If the current time display is 12:01PM,
you cannot enter the User Programming Mode – simply wait a minute before attempting.
The display will first show the
DAYS OVERRIDE
(parameter display code DO). This is the
setting that determines the frequency of regenerations (measured in days). It is generally
recommend that the system regenerate at least every 3 days for models using Birm media and daily
for models using Filox-R media. Failure to do so, could result in decline in contaminant removal
performance and loss of water pressure due to media clogging.
To change the setting, use the UP and DOWN buttons. Press the EXTRA CYCLE button when
done. If you do not want to change the current setting, simply press the EXTRA CYCLE button to
skip to the next step.
The display will now show the
REGENERATION TIME
(parameter display code RT). This is
the setting that determines the time of day that the automatic regeneration will start. It is strongly
recommended that regenerations be set to occur at night when water will not be in use. If you have
other water treatment equipment that backwashes (such as a water softener), make sure that your
Iron Rival is not set to backwash at the same time.
