If electrical power to the water softener is lost, ''memory'' built into the timer circuitry will keep all
settings for up to eight hours. While the power is out, the display is blank and the water softener will
not regenerate. When electrical power is restored, the following will occur.
1. You 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, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the clock to the correct
time of day.
If the water softener was regenerating when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
NOTE:
Whenever the softener has water flowing from the outlet port, the display will show water droplets
scrolling down the right hand side of the screen. The faster the water flow, the faster the droplets will
flash.
When this feature is ON, the water softener will operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness
per pound of salt or higher. (May recharge more often using smaller salt dosage and less water). The
softener is shipped in the OFF setting.
