II_ EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually started
regeneration (recharge) may be
desired, or needed. Two exam-
ples are:
- You have used more water than
usual (guests visiting) and you
may run out of soft water before
the next timer started regenera-
tion.
- You did not refill the softener
with salt before it was gone. After
you refill with salt:
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
Press the RECHARGE button and
hold for3 seconds. The words RE-
CHARGE NOW begin to flash in
the display, and the softener en-
ters the fill cycle of regeneration right away. This re-
generation will last for about 2 hours. Then, you will
have soft water again.
RECHARGE
HOW
3:
RECHARGE TONIGHT
Press and release (do not hold) the
RECHARGE button. RECHARGE
R_,.aR_ TONIGIHT
TONIGHT flashes in the display, _:.._ ,_-_
and the softener begins regenera-
tion at the next preset recharge time. Press and re-
lease the RECHARGE button once more if you de-
cide to cancel the regeneration, and RECHARGE
TONIGHT will not flash in the display.
SET SALT LEVEL
To set this monitor system, lift the SETSALTLEVEL
salt hole cover and level the salt in
the storage tank. The salt level de-
cal, on the brinewell inside the
tank, has numbers from 0 to 8.
Observe the highest number the leveled salt is at, or
closest to. Press SELECT once to get to the Set Salt
Level screen. Now press the UP or DOWN buttons
until the number corresponds with the salt level
number. At level 2 or below, the indicator LED will
flash. If you wish to turn this feature off, press the
DOWN button past 0, and the word "OFF" flashes
in the display. Note: You must set salt level each
time salt is added to the water softener.
PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time
display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the
correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical pow-
er comes on again, you have to reset the present
time only if the display is flashing. The HARD-
NESS, RECHARGE TIME and SALT LEVEL never
require resetting unless a change is desired. Even if
the timer is incorrect after a long power outage, the
softener works as it should to keep your water soft.
However, regenerations may occur at the wrong
time of day until you reset the timer to the correct
time of day.
EFFICIENCY MODE
When this feature is ON, the wa- [ ]
ter softener will operate at salt ef-
t
I
ficiencies of 4000 grains of hard-
F_ _ _
ness per pound of salt or higher. OU _ - -
(May recharge more often using [SET ]
smaller salt dosage and less wa- f._ f._
ter). Installations in the state of _
California require this setting to
be turned ON. This softener is shipped in the OFF
setting. To turn this setting to ON, press and holdthe
SELECT button until the display shows 000- -. Then
press (do not hold) the SELECT button again. Use the
UP arrow to turn ON. Press SELECT to enter and re-
turn to normal running screen. The efficiency icon
_-_will only be displayed when this feature is ON.

face plate display if a problem oc-
curs in the softener electronics. If F F _ _
you see an error code instead of
the present time of day, turn to page 5-2 under
"Troubleshooting" to resolve the problem.
