HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS

2A.FACE PLATE TIMER FEATURES

EXTRA RECHARGE

Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (re; charge) may be desired, or needed. Two exam; ples are:

--You have used more water than usual (guests visiting) and you may run out of soft water before the next timer started regeneration.

--You did not refill the softener with salt before it was gone.

You can start a regeneration right away, or you can set the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or other preset recharge time). Do the following.

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 6 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 you water soft. However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the timer to the correct time of day.

RECHARGE NOW

Press the ON/OFF±HOLD button and hold for 3 seconds. The softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration right away. . .the display shows ``FillinG NOW''. This regeneration will last for

about 40 minutes. Then, you
