DAYS TO EMPTY
The words DAYS
TO EMPTY and a
number are shown
in the lower half of
the display. This
information is shown
in the normal run display. This is to inform the
user of the number of days before the salt
level in the brine tank reaches Level 0. There
will be salt left in the salt tank, but it may not
be sufficient to fully recharge the system. Salt
should be added at this time to avoid hard
water. The value is updated daily and whenever
the SALT LEVEL value is changed.
NOTE: For the first several weeks of operation, the
DAYS TO EMPTY may provide erratic operation.
For example, the blue indicator light may flash,
showing that more salt is required when the actual
salt level in the tank is well above the Level 0. In
some cases, the DAYS TO EMPTY may even
increase over a several week period.
It takes a couple of months for the water
softener to learn your water usage pattern.
Once it does this, it will accurately determine
actual salt usage pattern. During this first
period, check salt level when blue indicator light
flashes. If the salt level in the tank is at Level 1
or above, allow system to run. Be sure to reset
your salt level indicator each time you add salt
to the system.
START A RECHARGE
Press the RECHARGE button and hold for
three seconds, until "RECHARGE NOW" begins
to flash in the display, starting a recharge. This
recharge draws the sanitizing bleach or brine
into and through the water softener. Any air
remaining in the water softener is purged to the
drain. During this time periodically check for
leaks.
NOTE: As with all other water system
applications, leaks may occur. Leaks may not
be immediately apparent. Recheck 24 hours
after first recharge cycle is complete.
