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. This fully 
programmable control allows you to fine tune the 
conditioner’s operation to meet your customer’s 
application. The Series 255 valve combines design 
simplicity with reinforced Noryl* construction to provide 
an uncommonly reliable appliance. The inherent 
reliability of the system means a long life of efficient, 
trouble-free water conditioning. If maintenance 
becomes necessary, the Series 255/960 water 
conditioning system offers a unique separation 
capability illustrated in this manual.

*Noryl is a trademark of General Electric Company

Special Features

Memory Retention.

 During a power outage, 

critical operating information in the control’s 
memory is stored in a special electronic device. 
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 returned 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. If an outage of one or more hours 
occurs, the time of day should be reset but no other 
reprogramming is necessary. The optional 
non-rechargeable battery backup feature will allow 
the control to keep track of time and any water 
usage for up to two days during a power outage.

Fully programmable regeneration cycle times. 
The control is factory programmed with typical 
regeneration cycle times for easy installation. The 
control allows the Backwash, Rinse, and Purge 
cycle times to be set by the installer to fine tune the 
conditioner’s operation.

Automatic double regenerations for exhausted 
resin beds.

 If the water usage exceeds 150% of 

the system capacity between regenerations, the 
control will automatically call for a second 
regeneration the next day even if no water is used. 
This feature is included to make sure that an 
exhausted resin bed is completely recharged.

Selectable reserve options.

 The control can be 

programmed to operate with one of four different 
reserve options (see Parameter P15, Table 3). The 
options include starting a regeneration only at a 
specific time of day or having an immediate 
regeneration when the capacity is exhausted. The 
control can also have a fixed reserve which is a 
percentage of the total system capacity or a 

variable reserve which adjusts the reserve 
depending upon the water usage patterns of your 
customer.

Separate Time of Day and Time of Regeneration 
settings. 

The control defaults to a 2:00 a.m. 

regeneration time for easy installation, but the 
installer may set the regeneration to occur at any 
time of the day.

WQA S-101 features. 

The control can be 

programmed to freeze the values for Salt Amount 
and Capacity so the customer can’t alter them after 
installation (see Parameter P18, Table 3).

Selectable 12-or 24-hour clock.

 (See Parameter 

P13, Table 3.)

Selectable U.S. or metric units of measure.

 Use 

grains per gallon of hardness, pounds of salt, and 
kilograins of capacity for U.S. units. Use milligrams 
per liter of hardness, kilograms of salt and 
kilograms of capacity for metric units (see 
Parameter P12, Table 3).

Selectable calendar override. 

One to 30 days are 

available to automatically regenerate the 
conditioner if the water usage hasn’t caused a 
regeneration. The default value is zero which 
disables this feature (see Parameter P14, Table 3).

Design reliability. 

Solid-state electronics assure 

many years of trouble-free performance. The 
metering system has only one moving part, the 
rotating turbine that measures water usage and 
generates electrical pulses that are counted by the 
microprocessor to determine the need to 
regenerate.

Guest cycle.

 An extra regeneration can be 

achieved at any time by pressing the REGEN 
button on the Model 960 front panel. It takes just a 
few minutes for the regeneration to start. The 
regeneration takes about two hours. This feature is 
beneficial when the customer expects to use more 
than the normal amount of water; for example, 
guest visits or an extra heavy laundry day.

Manual double regeneration.

 Back-to-back 

regenerations can be run by pressing the REGEN 
push button after the first regeneration has been 
running for at least one minute. This can be used to 
recharge the resin bed that has operated without 
salt for an extended period of time.

Superior Design

Fewer parts than any control system of 
comparable function and most controls of lesser 
function.

The valve may be indexed manually with or without 
power to any one of its service or regeneration 
positions. The Regeneration Cycle Indicator on the
