About the water softener system.
Service: Regeneration and Heavy Duty Backwash
NOTE:
Each of the following functions has a factory set default value. The defaults are:
Regeneration start time
–2:00AM
; Maximum days between regenerations
–0
(display shows
dY–
);
Heavy duty backwash
–OFF
. The defaults are suitable for most installations. However, depending
on water supply quality, household peak water use hours, etc., adjustment is available to meet
specific needs. To make a change, read and do the following.
Regeneration (Start) Time:
At the 2:00 AM regeneration start time, the water
softening system
begins regeneration at that time, ending at about 4:00 AM. This is a good time in most
households because water is not in use (see
Automatic Hard Water Bypass During Regeneration
section). If a different time would be better for
your needs, do steps 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9 below
to change the starting hour.
Maximum Days Between Regeneration:
The default setting (
dY–
) allows the timer to control
regeneration frequency based on water usage readings from the water meter. It provides the
most economical operation. You can set a maximum time (in days) between regenerations.
For example, no more than three days will pass without a regeneration occurring if you set
dY 3
in the display. A 1 to 7 day setting is available. To make a change from the default setting,
do steps
1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9
below.
Heavy Duty Backwash:
When set to
ON
, the backwash cycle of regeneration will be 10 minutes
long instead of the normal seven minute length. This is beneficial on some water supplies
high in iron or sediment content. To conserve water, on clean supplies, be sure the default
setting
OFF
shows. To change this setting, do steps
1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9
below.
Auto Regeneration When Capacity is Low:
The softener will regenerate at the regeneration time
only. Although the control has a look-forward feature which anticipates normal demand, an
unusually high usage may result in a loss of softening capacity. Turning the feature
ON
will cause
the softener to go into a regeneration cycle when 97% of the softening capacity has been used.
To change settings do steps
1, 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9.
