About The System Control Operation During A Power Failure In the event of a power failure, the valve will keep track of the time and day for 48 hours. The programmed settings are stored in a non-volatile memory and will not be lost during a power failure.
Regeneration Process When the system capacity is near exhausted, a regeneration is necessary to restore the sys- tem to full capacity. The table below explains the regeneration steps. Step Name Description Fresh water is introduced to the bottom of the tank flowing upwards expanding Back Wash the ion exchange resin to rinse out any dirt or small particles to the drain and to un‐compact the bed to restore full service flow rates. The brine solution is introduced slowly from the top of the tank flowing down Brine through the ion exchange resin pushing the hardness out to drain and restoring system capacity. Fresh water is introduced from the top of the tank flowing down through the Rinse ion exchange resin rinsing any excess brine solution out to the drain.
Manual Bypass In the case of emergency, such as an overflowing brine tank, you can isolate your water softener from the water supply using the bypass valve located at the back of the control. In normal operation the bypass is open with the on/off knobs in line with the inlet and outlet pipes.

Cleaning or Replacing Injectors Sediment, salt and silt will restrict or clog the injector. A clean water supply and pure salt will prevent this from happening. The injector assembly is located on the right side of the control valve. This assembly is easy to clean.

Replace faulty parts. 3. Power failure. Reset time of day. 4. Defective meter. Replace turbine meter. B. Water is hard. 1. By‐pass valve open. Close by‐pass valve. 2. Out of salt or salt level below water level. Add salt to tank. 3. Plugged injector / screen. Clean parts. 4. Flow of water blocked to brine tank. Check brine tank refill rate. 5. Hard water in hot water tank. Repeat flushing of hot water tank required. 6. Leak between valve and central tube. Check if central tube is cracked or o‐ring is damaged. Replace faulty parts. 7. Internal valve leak. Replace valve seals, spacer, and piston assembly. 8. Reserve capacity setting too low. Increase reserve capacity. 9. Not enough capacity. Increase salt dosage. C.
