WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER
If soft water is in use, the water flow bars continually
scroll across the display. The bars scroll slowly when
water flow is slow, and move faster as water flow
increases. The flow bars do not show when all
faucets and water using appliances are off.

PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time
display is blank but the electronic controller keeps the
correct time for several hours. When electrical power
comes on again, you will have to reset the present
time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS
and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless
a change is desired. Even if the clock is incorrect
after a long power outage, the softener works as it
should to keep your water soft, however, regenera-
tions may occur at the wrong time of day until you
reset the clock to the correct time of day.
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.
