Water Meter Mode
In water meter mode, the controller keeps track of the quantity of water that has flowed through the resin
bed. Based on the influent water hardness and the hardness capacity of the resin bed, a service life expec-
tancy in the quantity of softened water is calculated and programmed into the control. When the set point
is reached, regeneration is triggered. If the predict mode is not selected the regeneration will start at time
of regeneration. In immediate mode the regeneration starts as soon as the regeneration signal is provided.
If time clock backup is set and the capacity has not been exhausted but the days since last regen is greater
than time clock backup, setting the softener will immediately regenerate.
Aqua-Sensor
Mode
®
The Aqua-Sensor is a conductivity probe that senses when the hardness front passes through the resin
bed. It functions independently of the influent water hardness so therefore, is useful in conditions when the
influent water hardness varies throughout the year. It provides for the most efficient mode of operation. In
addition to sensing when a resin bed is exhausted, it can also be used to determine when the brine solu-
tion is rinsed from the resin bed during the Brine Draw/Slow Rinse cycle triggering the control to move to
fast rinse. This patented feature provides water savings by optimizing the amount of rinse water required
to completely rinse out the resin bed.

Smart Brine Tank Probe

The smart brine tank probe monitors conditions inside the brine tank. It predicts when salt needs to be
added to the brine tank, detects the presence of salt-bridging, eductor line plugging and brine tank overfill-
ing.
Wireless Remote Control
The wireless remote control displays the current status of the water softener or filters and allows for remote
control. It can be located up to 200 feet away from the softener (depending upon building construction
materials). The wireless remote displays information about softener performance, problems, days of salt
remaining and allows remote control for regeneration.
The wireless remote control is designed to communicate at 915 MHz and to work without interference with
other 915 MHz devices such as cordless telephones and baby monitors.
Modem
The modem allows for the system to be remotely monitored detecting problems before they occur, to sched-
ule salt delivery when it is needed and to keep the system software up to date with the latest advances.

Manual Regeneration

Manual regeneration can be initiated via the softener control valve or wireless remote display. Manual
regeneration can be initiated to begin regeneration immediately or that night. To immediately initiate re-
generation, press and hold
hold
for at least five (5) seconds.

Predict Mode

The Predict Mode is used with the flow meter to determine the optimum regeneration point. Before the re-
generation starts, the control will compare the remaining capacity value with the average daily water use.
If the average daily water usage is less than the reserve capacity, the controller will wait 24 more hours
before regeneration. If the reserve capacity is less than the average daily water usage, the control will
initiate regeneration. This works in delay mode only. At any time, if the total capacity value is reached,
the control will initiate an immediate regeneration.
Pre-Rinse Mode
The Pre-rinse mode is used to pre-rinse the softener resin bed or filter media. The pre-rinse in flow meter
mode will occur after the control has sensed that no water has flowed through the control for a period of X
hours (can be set through the programming menu). When the control is in this mode, once the X amount
for at least ten (10) seconds. To cancel a delayed regeneration, press and
