HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS

2A. FACE PLATE TIMER FEATURES

TIMER ªPOWER-OUTAGE MEMORYº Ð 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.
