HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS

2A. FACE PLATE TIMER FEATURES

TIMER “POWER-OUTAGE MEMORY” — If electrical power to the timer goes off, the “memory” built into timer circuitry keeps all settings for 6 hours (minimum) or more. The display is blank and the softener will not regenerate. When electrical power comes on, 1 of 2 things will happen.

1.The present time of day will show, meaning the timer memory has kept all settings.

NOTE:

If the softener was in a regeneration when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.

2. The display will show a time, but it will be flashing. The timer memory did not keep the time settings and they must be reset (page 6).

The flashing display is to remind you to reset the timer.

NOTE:

When power comes on, the flashing display returns to a time of 12:00 AM Sunday, then begins to keep time again. If you do not reset all time settings, the softener will regenerate 3 days each week. However, regeneration will most likely be on the wrong days and at the wrong time.

If the softener was in a regeneration when power went off, the valve will return to service position without finishing the regeneration cycle. If your water tastes salty:

-- use RECHARGE NOW (see page 9) to start another regeneration, or

-- open 1 or more soft water faucets and allow to run until the salt taste is gone.

625.348321 specifications

The Kenmore 625.348321 is a highly regarded model in the realm of water softeners, designed to alleviate the challenges posed by hard water in households. This unit effectively addresses the mineral buildup caused by calcium and magnesium ions, improving water quality and enhancing the longevity of plumbing fixtures, appliances, and laundry.

One of the standout features of the Kenmore 625.348321 is its impressive grain capacity. With a capacity of 31,000 grains, it is well-suited for medium to large households. This ensures that families experience consistent and reliable soft water, preventing the telltale signs of hard water, such as scale buildup and dry skin.

The unit employs a powerful ion exchange technology, a widely recognized method for softening water. The process involves exchanging the hard water minerals for sodium ions, effectively capturing the unwanted hardness and leaving users with soft, palatable water. This not only enhances the efficiency of soaps and detergents but also promotes the health of plumbing systems and appliances by preventing mineral deposits.

An additional feature is its demand-initiated regeneration system. This technology allows the unit to monitor water usage and regenerate only when necessary, which results in reduced salt and water consumption. This energy-efficient approach not only helps lower utility bills but also contributes to a more sustainable household environment.

The Kenmore 625.348321 also boasts user-friendly programming options, enabling homeowners to easily set and adjust preferences for optimal performance. The intuitive interface allows for quick access to diagnostics and system performance, ensuring that users are well-informed about the status of their water softening system.

Moreover, this model is equipped with a large brine tank that can hold a significant amount of salt, minimizing the frequency of refills and simplifying maintenance. With its compact design, the water softener fits seamlessly into various spaces, making it a convenient choice for homes with limited installation areas.

In summary, the Kenmore 625.348321 stands out as an effective water softener, combining advanced technology with user-friendly features. It provides households with the benefits of soft water, ensuring cleaner clothes, softer skin, and extended appliance life—all key advantages for any modern home.
