Extra Recharge
Sometimes, a manually initiated recharge (regenera-
tion) may be desired, or needed. Two examples are:
You have used more water than usual (guests visit-
=
ing) and you may run out of soft water before the
next automatic regeneration.
You did not add salt to the softener before it ran
=
out. Add salt to the softener before regenerating.
You can start a regeneration immediately, or you can
set the controller to regenerate at the next preset
recharge time (2:00 AM, or as set).
Recharge Now
Press the RECHARGE button and hold for 3 sec-
onds, until the words "RECHARGE NOW" begin to
flash in the display.
The softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration
immediately. This regeneration will take about 2 hours
to complete. Then, you will have soft water again.
NOTE: If the "Clean Feature" is set ON, the normal
regeneration cycle is preceded by a cleaning
backwash and rinse.
Recharge Tonight
If you do not want to start an immediate recharge, but
would like an extra recharge at the next preset
recharge start time, do the following to schedule a
recharge:
Press and release (do not hold) the RECHARGE but-
ton. "RECHARGE TONIGHT" will begin flashing in
the display, and the softener will begin regeneration
at the next preset recharge time (2:00 AM, or as set).
If you decide to cancel the regeneration before it
starts, press and release the RECHARGE button
once more. "RECHARGE TONIGHT" will stop flash-
ing in the display.
