_. RECHARGE TIME REMAINING and VALVE POSITION INDICATORS

One of the valve position indicators (Serv, Fill, Brine,

Bkwsh, Rinse) is displayed while the softener is re-

charging (See *Note on page 2-1 if the CLEAN fea-

ture is ON). RECHARGE flashes in the display and,

beginning with Brine, the minutes of recharge re- maining before return to service appears in place of

the present time. When the valve is moving from

one cycle to another, both position indicators are flashing.

I1_ 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 48 hours. When electrical

power comes on again, you have to reset the present

time only if the display is flashing. The HARD-

NESS and RECHARGE TIME never require reset-

ting 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. Howev-

er, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the timer to the correct time of day.

I_ ERROR CODE

An error code could appear in the face plate display

if a problem occurs in the softener electronics. If you see an error code instead of the present time of day,

look at Troubleshooting page 5-2 and/or call the
