I1_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.
SALT MONITOR SYSTEM
The faceplate timer has a low salt monitor with an
indicator light to remind you to add salt to the stor-
age tank. To set this monitor system:
_Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the
storage tank.
_J_ The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the
tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see drawing be-
low). Observe the number the leveled salt is at
or closest to.
- You did not refill the softener
with salt before it was gone. After _1
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 [_jd_;1 qnn_
and hold until *RECHARGE [I--_-- RECHAR'_7_
NOW, Serv and Fill begin to flash
in the display. Upon reaching
fill, the first cycle of regenera ....
tion, the flashing Serv turns off and Fill is on steady.
RECHARGE continues to flash. This regeneration
will last for about 2 hours. After the 2 hours, you will
have soft water again.
*Note:
If the CLEAN feature is set to ON, a cleaning back-
wash (CLEAN and Bkwsh or Rinse flashes in the dis-
play, along with the minutes of the clean cycle re-
RECHARGE TONIGHT
maining) precedes the recharge.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
Press and release (do not hold) the
RECHARGE button. RE-
CHARGE TONIGHT flashes in
the display, and the softener be-
gins regeneration at the next
preset recharge time. Press and release the RE-
CHARGE button once more if you decide to cancel
the regeneration, and RECHARGE TONIGHT will
not flash in the display.
Now, press the SALT LEVEL ADJUST button
until black bars display up to the salt level num-
ber. For example, the pictures below show the
salt level at 6.
II
Finally, set the level you want the low salt indi-
cator light to come on. Press the SIGNAL LIGHT
ADJUST button until a (÷) shows opposite this
number. In the example below, the light will
come one when the stored salt drops to level 2.
At level 2, the storage tank is about 1 / 3 full. This
is the lowest you should allow the stored salt
level to drop to.
_]1 If you want to turn the salt monitor off, press the
SIGNAL LIGHT ADJUST button until OFF
shows above.
Notes:
If potassium chloride is used, be sure to adjust the
timer to the KC1 setting on page 1- 4.
Your salt monitor is an estimate of your salt level; ac-
curacy depends on the type of salt used and other
regeneration characteristics.
