• EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually started
regeneration (recharge) may be
desired, or needed. Two exam-
ples are:
- You have used more water than
usual (guests visiting) and you
may run out of soft water before
the next timer started regenera-
tion.
- You did not refill the softener
with salt before it was gone. After
you refill with salt:
You can start a regeneration right
away, or you can set the timer to
regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or
other preset recharge time). Do
the following.
Press andrelease (donothold) the ZI: I_ ]i
ON / OFF-HOLD button. RE- -_ IL
CHARGE TONIGHT flashes in REC.A_ _O_.V
the display, and the softener be-
gins regeneration at the next preset recharge time.
Press and release the ON/OFF-HOLD button once
more if you decide to cancel the regeneration, and
RECHARGE TONIGHT.
• PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time
display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the
correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical pow-
er comes on again, you have to reset the present
time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS
and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting un-
less a change is desired.Even if the timer is incorrect
after a long power outage, the softener works as it
should to keep your water soft. However, regenera-
tions may occur at the wrong time of day until you
reset the timer to the correct time of day.
• RECHARGE NOW
Press the ON/OFF-HOLD but-
ton and hold for 3 seconds. RE-
CHARGE NOW begins to flash
in the display, and the softener
RECHARGE NOW J
enters the fill cycle of regeneration right away. This
regeneration will last for about 2 hours. Then, you
will have soft water again.
• RECHARGE TONIGHT
• ERROR CODE
An error code could appear in
the face plate display if a prob-
lem occurs in the softener elec-
tronics. If you see an error code
instead of the present time of
day, turn to page 5-2 under
"Troubleshooting" to resolve
the problem.
