DAYS TO EMPTY
The words DAYS TO EMPTY and a number are
shown in the lower half of the display. This
information is shown in the normal run display.
This is to inform the user of the number of days
before the salt level in the brine tank reaches
Level 0. There will be salt left in the salt tank, but it
may not be sufficient to fully recharge the system.
Salt should be added at this time to avoid hard
water. The value is updated daily and whenever
the SALT LEVEL value is changed.
NOTE: For the first several weeks of operation, the
DAYS TO EMPTY may provide erratic operation.
For example, the blue indicator light may flash,
showing that more salt is required when the
actual salt level in the tank is well above the Level
0. In some cases, the DAYS TO EMPTY may even
increase over a several week period.
It takes a couple of months for the water softener
to learn your water usage pattern. Once it does
this, it will accurately determine actual salt usage
pattern. During this first period, check salt level
when blue indicator light flashes. If the salt level
in the tank is at Level 1 or above, allow system to
run. Be sure to reset your salt level indicator each
time you add salt to the system.
START A RECHARGE
Press the RECHARGE button and hold for three
seconds, until "RECHARGE NOW" begins to flash
in the display, starting a recharge. This recharge
draws the sanitizing bleach or brine into and
through the water softener. Any air remaining in
the water softener is purged to the drain. During
this time periodically check for leaks.
NOTE: As with all other water system
applications, leaks may occur. Leaks may not be
immediately apparent. Recheck 24 hours after
first recharge cycle is complete.
