Manual Regeneration

If your salt storage tank does run out of salt, you can manually regenerate the
unit after adding salt, or you can wait for it to go through regeneration
automatically.
Using a #2 Phillips screwdriver, push down firmly on the softener valve screw
(Fig. 2) and slowly turn clockwise until the actuator has advanced the indicator
dot to the "BRINE" position (Fig. 2). You should hear at least five "clicks" while
turning the screw before the indicator dot reaches the "BRINE" position. At this
point you should hear water begin to run through the system. If you do not hear
water running through the system, the indicator dot has not been advanced far
enough. Repeat the procedure for manual regeneration after the water flow stops
(19 to 30 minutes, depending on the model) to be sure both resin tanks are
regenerated.
Note: If your hot water tank has refilled with hard water, it may take several days
for it to empty and for your water to feel soft again
