HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS

2A. FACE PLATE TIMER FEATURES

EXTRA RECHARGE

Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (recharge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples 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.

RECHARGE NOW

nPress the ON/OFF- HOLD button and hold until

RECHARGE NOW, SERV and FILL begin to flash in the display. Upon reaching fill, the first cycle of regen- eration, the flashing SERV goes off and FILL is on steady. RECHARGE NOW continues to flash. This re- generation will last for about 2 hours. After the 2 hours, you will have soft water again.

RECHARGE TONIGHT

nPress and release (do not hold) the ON/OFF-HOLD button. RECHARGE TO- NIGHT flashes in the dis- play, and the softener be- gins regeneration at the next preset recharge time. Press and release the ON/ OFF-HOLD button once more if you decide to cancel the regeneration, and RE-

CHARGE TONIGHT.

SALT MONITOR SYSTEM

The face plate timer has a low salt monitor with an indicator light to remind you to refill the storage tank with salt. To set this monitor system:

1.Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the storage tank.

2.The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see drawing on page 9 and below). Observe the number the leveled salt is at or closest to.

NOTE: To light the salt storage area, press the TANK LIGHT button on the face plate.

3.Now, press the SALT LEVEL ADJUST button until black bars display up to the salt level number. For example, the pictures below show the salt level at 6.

4.Finally, set the level you want the low salt indicator light to come on. Press the SIGNAL LIGHT ADJUST button until a (T) shows opposite this number. In the example below, the light will come one when the stored salt drops to level 2. At level 2, the storage tank is about 1/3 full. This is the lowest you should allow the stored salt level to drop to. To turn the salt monitor off, press the button until OFF shows.

NOTE:

For accurate salt monitor operation, always use nugget or pellet water softener salt. See page 9.
