Setting The Controller
Demand Regeneration
You won’t have to worry about vacation settings or extra guests be-
cause the controller measures water usage and regenerates based
on need. The appliance will regenerate using only the necessary
amount of water and salt. If power has been turned off, your appli-
ance will retain programmed settings indefinitely.
1. Entering Your Hardness Setting
See Page 13 for determining your setting number. The water hard-
ness setting number shown in the digital readout will increase 1 grain
each time you push the “SET” button. After 90 grains, the readout
will return to 1, and continue to count up from 1 until the display
number matches the hardness number. After 5 seconds the display
will change to show “gallons remaining (x 100)”. To recheck the hard-
ness, touch “SET.”
2. Gallons Remaining
After setting water hardness, gallons remaining until the next auto-
matic regeneration is shown in the digital display. NOTE: Gallons
remaining are in hundreds. 12=1,200 gallons.
3. Recharge/Regeneration Status
Regeneration cycle numbers are shown during regeneration. The
read-out will flash with the cycle number. The flashing regeneration
numbers are:
First cycle:
(C1) First Backwash
Second & Third cycles:
(C2) Brine/Slow Rinse
Fourth cycle:
(C3) Second Backwash
Fifth cycle:
(C4) Brine Refill
Sixth cycle:
(HO) Service
To quickly advance through the regeneration cycles, press and hold
the REGENERATE button for 2 seconds. Wait for the cycle to begin,
after 20 seconds press and hold the REGENERATE button until
the cycle number changes (about 2 seconds). Each cycle can be
advanced in this manner.
4. WATERMIZER

The waterMizer
®
wheel will turn whenever water is being used.
See Figure 10.
5. REGENERATE
To start an immediate regeneration, press The “REGENERATE” but-
ton and hold for 3 seconds. The REGENERATE button is used when
starting your water conditioner, to start an immediate regeneration,
or to restore capacity if you have run out of salt. If your appliance has
run out of salt, you may not have soft water available. Remove the
salt lid and add salt. Wait two hours, then press the “REGENERATE”
button and hold for 3 seconds. See Figure 10.
6) POWERCLEAN™
The POWERCLEAN™ feature is a service/maintenance step for
water supplies that have an excessive amount of iron. Activating
this feature is a simple push of the POWERCLEAN™ button on the
controller.
POWERCLEAN™ will appear in the display when this feature is acti-
vated. The appliance will regenerate every other day with five pounds
of salt. Leave the POWERCLEAN™ feature on for a minimum of
two weeks. The frequent regeneration will eliminate iron buildup in
the resin bed. The use of salt with an iron cleaning agent or iron out
cleaner is recommended for continuous use as a preventive measure
against iron fouling of the resin bed. To deactivate this feature,
simply press the POWERCLEAN™ button. Use this feature every six
months as a part of your routine maintenance procedure to ensure a
long service life for your water treatment appliance. See Figure 10.
Hardness Settings
1. Hold down “SET” for 3 seconds to enter basic customer settings
mode.
2. “Set Hardness” and a default hardness number is now displayed.
Pressing and releasing the “CHANGE” button will increase the
hardness setting # by one. As a short cut, pressing and releasing
the powerClean™ button will advance the display by 10. However,
the CHANGE button alone can be used to advance the display
one digit at a time to the correct number. If “Gallons x 100” was
selected, 01 = 100 gallons. If “Liters x 1000” was selected, 01 =
1,000 liters. Pressing and releasing “SET” will save the hardness
number and put the appliance into operation. The appliance is
now ready for use as recommended. To fine-tune the program-
