• PROGRAM MEMORY

If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical pow- er comes on again, you have to reset the present time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS

and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting un-

less a change is desired.Even if the timer is incorrect after a long power outage, the softener works as it should to keep your water soft. However, regenera- tions may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the timer to the correct time of day.
