REGENERATION
CHECK
This check
verifies
proper
operation
of the valve
motor,
brine
tank fill, brine
draw, regeneration
flow
rates,
and other
controller
functions.
Always
make
the initial
checks,
and
the manual
initiated
diag-
nostics.
Note:
The faceplate
display
must
show
normal
op-
erating
screen.

Press
the RECHARGE
button
and hold
in for 3
seconds.
The Recharge
display

enters
the
fill cycle
of regeneration.
When
FILL time begins
to count
down,
remove
the brinewell
cover
and,
using
a flashlight,
ob-
serve
fill water
entering
the tank.
*Note: if the CLEAN
feature
is set to ON, the clean
icon flashes
while
the backwash
or fast rinse
cycles
are in progress,
along
with the minutes
remaining
in each cycle.
This proceeds
the normal
regenera-
tion cycle.
a. If water
does
not enter
the tank,
look for an ob-
structed
nozzle,
venturi,
fill flow plug,
brine tubing,
or brine
valve
riser pipe.
