Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (recharge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples are:
... You have used more water than usual (house guests, extra washing, etc.) and you may run out of soft water
before the next regeneration.
... You did not refill the storage tank with salt before it was all gone.
Use one of the following features to start a regeneration immediately, or at the next preset regeneration start
time.
RECHARGE NOW
Press and hold in the RE-
CHARGE button until
CHARGE NOW starts to flash in
the time display area. The soften-
er begins an immediate regeneration, and when
over in about two hours, you will have a new supply
of soft water. Once started, you cannot cancel this
regeneration.

North Star Demand water softeners regenerate only while water is used and softening capacity must be re-
stored. For this reason, the softener will not regenerate when you are away from home for extended periods.

If electrical power to the softener is interrupted, the
time display is blank, but the timer keeps correct
time for about 6 hours. When power is restored, you
have to reset the present time only if the display is
flashing. All other settings are maintained and nev-
er require resetting unless a change is desired.

When this feature is ON, the unit 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). Press and hold
the SELECT button for 3 seconds until the following
screen is diplayed.

TIMER FEATURES, AND SERVICE
RE-
RECHARGE TONIGHT
Press and release the RECHAR-
GE button, and RECHARGE TO-
NIGHT flashes in the time display
area. A regeneration will occur at
the next preset regeneration start time. If you de-
cide to cancel this regeneration, touch the same but-
ton once more.
If the time is flashing after a long power outage, the
softener continues to work as it should to provide
you with soft water. However, regenerations may oc-
cur at the wrong time of day until you reset the timer
to the correct time of day, page 10.
Press and release the SELECT button once and the
SALT EFFICIENCY display shows. Use the UP /
Down buttons to change the ON / OFF displays.
Press SELECT once more to return to normal oper-
ating screens. When this is ON the efficiency icon
will show in the upper right hand corner of the dis-
play.
