If the recharge button on the Miracle Water MW-40 does not respond, ensure the faceplate display shows a steady (not flashing) time. If it does not, the unit may not be ready for manual operation. Also, check for possible issues like a dirty or improperly seated nozzle and venturi, or restricted drain, as these can affect regeneration functions.
