Recharging
If you have guests visiting, or other times when you use more water than usual, you could begin to run out of soft water. If the softener is not scheduled to regenerate for another day or two, you would get hard water until then. If this happens, or you think it might happen, press and hold in the TOUCH HOLD button for three seconds until RCHG shows. RCHG will flash in the display during the regeneration, which lasts under two hours.
NOTE: Avoid using HOT water while the softener regenerates, because bypass hard water will refill the water heater, see the Automatic Bypass section.

Going on Vacation?
The day you leave on vacation, or for a long absence, press (do not hold) the TOUCH HOLD button VAC begins to flash in the display. The timer will keep time, but the softener will not regenerate.
NOTE: While on vacation, the softener will go through a regeneration if the RECHARGE NOW feature is used.
To shut off the water supply to the softener, use the plumbing bypass valve.
When you return, press the VACATION button again to return the softener to service and also returning the softener to the correct time of day in the display.
WARNING: Remember to do this or the softener will not regenerate and you will soon have hard water.

What to do When a Power Outage Occurs.
Instructions
If electrical power to the timer goes off, the memory built into the timer circuitry keeps all settings for six hours (minimum) or more. The display is blank and softener will not regenerate.
When electrical power comes on… one of two 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 the power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
OR
2 The display will show a flashing time. The timer memory did not keep the time settings and they must be reset. See the Program the Timer section.
NOTE: When the 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 three 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 the power went off, the valve will return to service position without finishing the regeneration cycle.
