Manual Advance Regeneration Check --- Model WHES20
This check verifies proper operation of the valve motor , brine tank fill, brine draw, regeneration flow
rates, and other controller functions. Always make the initial checks, and t he manual initiated
diagnostics.
NOTE:
The electronic control display must show a steady time (not flashing). If an error code
shows, first press the
PROGRAM button to e nter the diagnostic display.
1. Press the
RECHARGE button and hold in for 3 seconds. RECHARGE begins to flash as the
softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration. Remove the brinewell cover and, using a flashlight,
observe fill water entering the tank.
If water does not enter the tank, look for an obstructed nozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine tubing, or
brine valve riser pipe.
2. After observing fill, press the
RECHARGE button to move the softener into brining. A slow
flow of water to the drain will begin. Verify brine draw from the brine tank by shining a flashlight
into the brinewell and observing a noticeable drop in the liquid level. This may take 15 to 20
minutes to notice.
NOTE:
Be su re w ater i s in contact with the salt, and not separated by a salt bridge... see “Breaking
A Salt Bridge” section.
If the water softener does not draw brine, check for (most likely to least likely)
• Dirty or plugged nozzle and venturi, see “Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi” section
• Nozzle and venturi not seated on the gasket, or gasket defor med
• Restriction in valve drain, causing a back--pressure (bends, kinks, elevated too high, etc.),
see “Install Valve Drain Hose” section
• Obstruction in brine valve or brine tubing
• Inner valve failure (obstructed outlet disc, wave washe r deformed, etc.)
NOTE:
If water systempressure is low, an elevated drain hose may cause back pressure,stopping
brine draw.
3. Again, press the
RECHARGE button to move the softener into backwash. L ook for a fast flow
of w ater from the drain hose.
An obstructed flow indicates a plugged top distributor, bac kwash f low plug, or drain hose.
