EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration
(recharge) may be desired, or needed. Two
examples are:
- -You have used more water than usual (guests
visiting) and you may run out of soft water
before the next timer started regeneration.
- - You did not refill the softener with salt before it
was gone.
You can start a regeneration right away, or you
can set the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00
AM (or other preset recharge time). Do the
following.
RECHARGE NOW
n Press the ON/OFF-
HOLD button and hold until
RECHARGE NOW, SERV
and FILL begin to flash in
the display. Upon reaching
fill, the first cycle of regen-
eration, the flashing SERV
goes off and FILL is on
steady. RECHARGE NOW
continues to flash. This re-
generation will last for
about 2 hours. After the 2
hours, you will have soft
water again.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
n Press and release (do not
hold) the ON/OFF-HOLD
button. RECHARGE TO-
NIGHT flashes in the dis-
play, and the softener be-
gins regeneration at the
next preset recharge time.
Press and release the ON/
OFF-HOLD button once
more if you decide to cancel
the regeneration, and RE-
CHARGE TONIGHT.

Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the
storage tank.
The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside
the tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see
drawing on page 9 and below). Observe the
number the leveled salt is at or closest to.
Now, press the SALT LEVEL ADJUST button
until black bars display up to the salt level
number. For example, the pictures below
show the salt level at 6.
Finally, set the level you want the low salt
indicator light to come on. Press the SIGNAL
LIGHT ADJUST button until a (T) shows
opposite this number. In the example below,
the light will come one when the stored salt
drops to level 2. At level 2, the storage tank is
about 1/3 full. This is the lowest you should
allow the stored salt level to drop to. To turn
the salt monitor off, press the button until
OFF shows.
