If soft water is in use, the water

flow bars continually scroll

across the display. The bars scroll slowly when water flow

is slow, and move faster as

water flow increases. The flow

bars do not show when all

faucets and water using ap-

pliances are off.

feature		(page	7), the length		of	the	extra	backwash
cycle	automatically			sets	to 7	minutes.		However,
you	can	adjust	this	time	from	1 to 15		minutes	in

length. To change this cycle time, use the UP button

to increase the time, or the DOWN button to

shorten the time. If no change is desired, continue below.

2. Press SELECT again to show the following

RECHARGE display.

default display	example: set to 4 days maxi-
	mum between regenerations

_Maximum days between regenerations: The

faceplate timer automatically controls regenera-

tion frequency (see page 14). This provides the

greatest operating efficiency, and normally the

maximum days feature is not needed. If you want to

be certain a regeneration will occur within a

number of days, use this feature. For example, if

your water supply contains iron and you want the

softener to regenerate at least once every few days

to keep the resin bed clean, set the display as

typically shown above. Setting is available from 1

to 15 days by using the UP and DOWN buttons.

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 12 hours. When electrical

power comes on again, you have to reset the

present time only if the display is flashing. The

HARDNESS and RECHARGE TIME never require

resetting unless 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, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the
