‘‘Power---Outage Memory’’
If electrical power to the water softener is lost, ‘‘memory’’ built into the timer circuitry will keep all
settings f or up to eight hours. While the power is out, the display is blank and the water softener will
not re generate. When electrical power is restored, the following will occur.
1. You have to reset the present time only if the display is flashing. The HA RDNESS and
RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless a change is desired. Even if the clock is
incorrect after a long power outage, the softener works as it should to keep your water soft.
However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the clock to the correct
time of day.
NOTE:
If the water softener was regenerating when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
