Modes of
Water Meter Mode
Operation
In water meter mode, the controller keeps track of the quantity of water that has flowed through the resin bed.
Based on the influent water hardness and the hardness capacity of the resin bed, a service life expectancy
in the quantity of softened water is calculated and programmed into the control. When the set point is
reached, regeneration is triggered. If the delayed regeneration is selected, the regeneration will start at time
of regeneration. In immediate mode the regeneration starts as soon as the regeneration signal is provided.
If time clock backup is set and the capacity has not been exhausted but the days since last regen is greater
than time clock backup, setting the softener will immediately regenerate.
Aqua-Sensor® Mode
The Aqua-Sensor is a conductivity probe that senses when the hardness front passes through the resin bed. It
functions independently of the influent water hardness so therefore, is useful in conditions when the influent water
hardness varies throughout the year. It provides for the most efficient mode of operation. In addition to sensing
when a resin bed is exhausted, it can also be used to determine when the brine solution is rinsed from the resin
bed during the Brine Draw/Slow Rinse cycle triggering the control to move to fast rinse. This patented feature
provides water savings by optimizing the amount of rinse water required to completely rinse out the resin bed.
Smart Brine Tank Probe
The smart brine tank probe monitors conditions inside the brine tank. It predicts when salt needs to be added
to the brine tank, detects the presence of salt-bridging, eductor line plugging and brine tank overfilling.
Wireless Remote Control
The wireless remote control displays the current status of the water softener or filters and
allows for remote control. It can be located up to 200 feet away from the softener (depending
upon building construction materials). The wireless remote displays information about softener
performance, problems, days of salt remaining and allows remote control for regeneration.
The wireless remote control is designed to communicate at 915 MHz and to work without
interference with other 915 MHz devices such as cordless telephones and baby monitors.
Modem
The modem allows for the system to be remotely monitored detecting problems before they occur,
to schedule salt delivery when it is needed and to keep the system software up to date with the latest advances.
Manual Regeneration
Manual regeneration can be initiated via the softener control valve or wireless remote display.
Manual regeneration can be initiated to begin regeneration immediately or that night.
To immediately initiate regeneration, press and hold
for at least ten (10) seconds.
To cancel a delayed regeneration, press and hold
for at least five (5) seconds.
Predict Mode
The Predict Mode is used with the flow meter to determine the optimum regeneration point.
Before the regeneration starts, the control will compare the remaining capacity value with the
average daily water use. If the average daily water usage is less than the reserve capacity, the
controller will wait 24 more hours before regeneration. If the reserve capacity is less than the
average daily water usage, the control will initiate regeneration. This works in delay mode only.
At any time, if the total capacity value is reached, the control will initiate an immediate regeneration.
Pre-Rinse Mode
The Pre-rinse mode is used to pre-rinse the softener resin bed or filter media. The pre-rinse in flow
meter mode will occur after the control has sensed that no water has flowed through the control for
a period of X hours (can be set through the programming menu). When the control is in this mode,
once the X amount of hours have elapsed the control will cycle to the fast rinse position for the pre-
11
set length of minutes and then return to the home or service position.
