Routine Maintenance

POWER OUTAGE MEMORY
If electrical power to the water conditioner is lost,
"memory'' built into the timer circuitry will keep all set-
tings for several hours. While the power is out, the
display is blank and the water conditioner will not
regenerate. When electrical power is restored, the
following will occur:
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
conditioner operates as it should to keep your water
soft. However, regenerations may occur at the wrong
time of day until you reset the clock to the correct
time of day.
NOTE: If the water conditioner was regenerating when
power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
until "RECHARGE" begins to flash in the display.
This manual recharge will take about two hours. If
taste, odor, or discoloration are detected in the water,
manually recharge the conditioner again, then run a
cold water faucet immediately downstream of the con-
ditioner until water tastes, smells and appears normal.
