Programming the Water Softener.
POWER OUTAGE MEMORY
If electrical power to the water softener is lost,
"memory'' built into the timer circuitry will keep
all settings for up to 24 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:
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 operates 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.
NOTE: If the water softener was regenerating
when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
