Power Outage Memory
If electrical power to the softener is interrupted, the
time display is blank, but the electronic controller
keeps correct time for several hours. When power is
restored, you must reset the present time only if the
display is flashing. All other settings are maintained
and never require resetting unless a change is
desired. If the time is flashing after a long power out-
age, the softener continues to work as it should to
provide you with soft water. However, regenerations
may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the
clock to the correct time of day.
NOTE: If the water softener was regenerating when
power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
Vacation Note
Morton demand controlled water softeners regenerate
only while water is being used and softening capacity
must be restored. For this reason, the unit will not
regenerate when you are away from home for extend-
ed periods.

Cleansing Feature
The cleansing feature keeps larger particles of sedi-
ment from entering the home's plumbing system. As
water passes through the softener, the larger sedi-
ment particles are collected in the integrated basket
and then rinsed to the drain before each regenera-
tion. The cleansing feature provides added protection
for water using appliances by reducing the chance of
larger particles entering the various products valves
and screens. The "Clean Feature" may be turned ON
to provide an extra backwash that will help keep the
cleansing screen clean. The default is OFF.
IMPORTANT: The cleansing feature is not intended to
replace pretreatment filtration. For
problem water applications, additional
sediment filtration is recommended.
