GE GNSF39A01 Water System User Manual


 
If electrical power to the water softening system is interrupted, the control display is blank, but
the control keeps correct time for about 72 hours. When power is restored, you have to reset the
present time only if the display is flashing. All other settings are maintained and never require
resetting unless a change is desired.
If the time is flashing after a long power outage, the water softening system continues to work as
it should to provide you with soft water. However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of
day until you reset the control to the correct time of day.

Normal Operation, Timer Display
During normal operation, the present time of day and AM or PM show in the control display
area. When the demand computer determines a regeneration is needed,
RECHARGE TONIGHT
begins to flash in the display along with the present time.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
flashes until
the next regeneration start time, then changes to
RECHARGE NOW,
which flashes until the
regeneration is over. The display also shows the current cycle in the regeneration process.
When the valve is in transition between cycles, both indicators flash.
Feature: Optional Recharge Controls
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (recharge) may be desired or needed.
Two examples:
You have used more water than usual (house guests, extra washing, etc.) and you may run out
of soft water before the next regeneration.
You did not refill the storage tank with salt before it was all gone.
Use one of the following features to start a regeneration immediately, or at the next preset
regeneration start time.

the

regeneration.
