PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time
display is blank but the electronic controller keeps the
correct time for several hours. When electrical power
comes on again, you will have to reset the present
time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS
and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless
a change is desired. Even if the clock is incorrect
after a long power outage, the softener works as it
should to keep your water soft, however, regenera-
tions may occur at the wrong time of day until you
reset the clock to the correct time of day.
EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually initiated recharge (regenera-
tion) may be desired, or needed. Two examples are:
=
You have used more water than usual (guests visit-
ing) and you may run out of soft water before the
next automatic regeneration.
=
You did not add salt to the softener before it ran
out. Add salt to the softener before regenerating.
You can start a regeneration immediately, or you can
set the controller to regenerate at the next preset
recharge time (2:00 AM, or as set).
RECHARGE NOW
Press the RECHARGE button and hold for 3 sec-
onds, until the words “RECHARGE NOW” begin to
flash in the display. The softener enters the fill cycle
of regeneration immediately. This regeneration will
take about 2 hours to complete. Then, you will have
soft water again.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
Press and release (do not hold) the RECHARGE but-
ton. “RECHARGE TONIGHT” will begin flashing in
the display, and the softener will begin regeneration
at the next preset recharge time (2:00 AM, or as set).
If you decide to cancel the regeneration before it
starts, press and release the RECHARGE button
once more. “RECHARGE TONIGHT” will stop flash-
ing in the display.
