9.4. Initiate a Regeneration

9.3. Displaying the Remaining Volume of Water to be Treated (Metered System Only)

9.2. Adjust the Time of Day

9.1. Operation in Service Mode

•  Once your softener is running, you can view the time of day. By pressing “NEXT /      ” for a few seconds, you will be 

able to see the remaining capacity of soft water left.

•  Once the capacity is expired, a flashing (CIRCLE) will be displayed on the screen, indicating a regeneration will be 

programmed at the time determined in the program.

•  Regeneration will cause the machine motor to run, creating a mechanical noise, this is normal.

9. Valve Operation

•  Push the “UP /    ” and “DOWN /     ” buttons to set the correct time. 

NB. 

The display of a valve using a low voltage transformer will blink during power failure. This blinking will end once 

the programming has been restored. 

•  Push the “NEXT /    ” button to switch between the time of day and the remaining volume display.  

•  Push the “regeneration /

 

R

” button for one second to initiate regeneration (the system will regenerate immediately for 

a valve in “immediate regeneration mode” or at the next pre-set time for a valve in “delayed regeneration mode”).

•  Push the “REGENERATION / 

R

” button for 5 seconds to initiate regeneration immediately for a valve that is 

programmed in “chronometric” or “volumetric” mode. This is to be used to flush the system after a long time such 

as returning from holidays.

•  T

he display will show the time of day during normal operation and will turn off after 3 minutes to conserve battery 

life for battery operated models. The remaining volume of water to be treated can be displayed by pushing the 

“NEXT    ” button.

Problem

Possible Cause

Possible Solution

A. Controller does not work

1. Power off

2. Transformer is not plugged in

3. Defective power cord

4. Defective transformer

1. Switch on power

2. Connect to constant power source

3. Replace cord

4. Replace the transformer

B. Incorrect time of regeneration 1. Power outage causes inaccurate 

timing

1. Reset the timer

C. Leaking

1. Loose connections

1. Tighten joints

D. Noisy

1. Air pressure in the system

1. Re-backwash the system to vent air

E. Milk-white water

1. Air exists in the system

1. Turn on the tap to vent air

F. Unsatisfied water hardness

1. Poor raw water quality

2. Time of regeneration is too long

3. Resin disabled

1. Contact your supplier for assistance

2. Reset time of regeneration

3. Re-regeneration or use new resin

G. Softener fails to use salt 

1. Water pressure is too low

2. Brine line blocked

3. Injector is blocked

4. Internal control leak

1. Line pressure must be at least 2 bar

2. Clean brine line

3. Clean or replace injector & screen

4. Check piston, seals and spacers

H. Brine container overflow

1. Refill time too long

1. Contact your supplier for assistance

I. Water hardness remains

1. Fail to regenerate automatically

2. Brine concentration is poor

3. Injector is plugged

1. Check power of controller

2. Keep brine tank full of salt

3. Disassemble the injector and clear it 

    by washing with water

K. Untreated water leakage 

    during service

1. Improper regeneration

2. Leaking of bypass valve

3. O-ring around riser tube damaged

4. Incorrect regeneration cycle setting

1. Repeat regeneration making certain 

    that the correct salt dosage is set

2. & 3. Replace O-ring

4. Reset regeneration cycle
