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 and 7 below to change the starting hour.
Maximum Days Between Regeneration:
The default setting 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, 3, 4, 5 and 7 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
OFF

7 below.

The UP button moves the time ahead; the DOWN button
moves the time backward.

To set a maximum time (in days) between regenerations, press
the UP or DOWN button.
