Normal Operation, Control Displays
During normal operation, the present time of day and AM or PM show in the control display area. When
the demand computer determines a regeneration is needed, RECHARGE TONIGHT begins to flash in the
display along with the present time. RECHARGE TONIGHT
time, then changes to RECHARGE NOW, which flashes until the regeneration is over.
Feature: Optional Recharge Controls
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration
(recharge) may be desired or needed.
Two examples:
You have used more water than usual (house
guests, extra washing, etc.) and you may run out
of soft water before the next regeneration.
You did not refill the storage tank with salt.
Use one of the following features to start a
regeneration immediately, or at the next preset
regeneration start time.
Feature: Program Memory
If electrical power to the water softening system is
interrupted, the control display is blank, but the
control keeps correct time for about six hours.
When power is restored, you have to reset the
present time only if the display is flashing. All other
settings are maintained and never require resetting
unless a change is desired.
Feature/Service: Automatic Electronic Diagnostics
The control computer has a self-diagnostic function
for the electrical system (except input power and
water meter). The computer monitors the
electronic components and circuits for correct
operation. If a malfunction occurs, an error code
appears in the
control display.

If the time is flashing after a long power outage,
the water softening system 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 control to the correct time
of day.
