MANUAL ADVANCE REGENERATION CHECK

This check verifies proper operation of the valve motor, brine tank fill, brine draw, regeneration flow rates, and other controller functions. Always make the initial checks, and the manual initiated diagnostics.

NOTES: The face plate display must show a steady time (not flashing). If an Error code shows, first press the SELECT button to enter the diagnostic display.

1.Press the ON/OFF2HOLD button and hold in for 3 seconds. *RECHARGE and Fill begin to flash as the softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration. When Fill is on steady, remove the brinewell cover and, using a flashlight, observe fill water entering the tank.

*NOTE: If the CLEAN feature is set to ON, a cleaning backwash (CLEAN and Bkwsh or Rinse flashes in the display, along with the minutes of the clean cycle remaining), precedes the recharge.

a.If water does not enter the tank, look for an ob2 structed nozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine tub2 ing, or brine valve riser pipe.

CYCLE FLOW RATES (GALLONS PER MIN.)

(.7 liters)

BRINE RINSE

(flow to drain)

.12

(.45 liters)

BACKWASH

2.After observing fill, press the ON/OFF2HOLD button to move the softener into brining. A slow flow of water to the drain will begin. Verify brine draw from the brine tank by shining a flashlight into the brinewell and observing a noticeable drop in the liquid level.

NOTE: Be sure a salt bridge is not preventing water with salt contact.

a.If the softener does not draw brine…

…nozzle and/or venturi dirty or defective.

…nozzle and venturi not seated properly on gasket.

…restricted drain (check drain fitting and hose).

…defective nozzle and venturi seal.

…other inner valve defect (rotor seal, rotor & disc, wave washer, etc.).

NOTE: If water system pressure is low, an elevated drain hose may cause back pressure, stopping brine draw.

3.Again press ON/OFF2HOLD to move the soften2 er into backwash. Look for a fast flow of water from the drain hose.

a.An obstructed flow indicates a plugged top dis2 tributor, backwash flow plug, or drain hose.

4.Press ON/OFF2HOLD to move the softener into fast rinse. Again look for a fast drain flow. Allow the softener to rinse for a few minutes to flush out any brine that may remain in the resin tank from the brining cycle test.

5.To return the softener to service, press ON/OFF2 HOLD.

625.34857, 625.34859 specifications

The Kenmore 625.34859 and 625.34857 are notable water filtration systems designed for residential use, offering an efficient way to ensure clean and safe drinking water. These units are characterized by their advanced filtration technologies and user-friendly features that cater to the needs of modern households.

One of the main features of these models is their multi-stage filtration process, which effectively removes contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, and various impurities found in tap water. The filtration system includes a sediment filter, a carbon filter, and a reverse osmosis membrane, working synergistically to improve water quality significantly.

The reverse osmosis technology is a standout aspect of the Kenmore 625 series. This method utilizes a semi-permeable membrane that allows only water molecules to pass through while blocking larger molecules and contaminants. As a result, users enjoy cleaner, better-tasting water free of harmful substances. The filtration process is further complemented by a post-carbon filter that enhances the taste and removes any remaining odors.

Another significant characteristic is the high capacity of these systems. With a storage tank that provides ample water supply, families can conveniently access filtered water whenever needed without the frequent need for cartridge replacements. The POU (Point of Use) design allows for easy integration into kitchen setups, making it an ideal solution for cooking, drinking, and food preparation.

Furthermore, the Kenmore 625.34859 and 625.34857 come equipped with monitoring technology that alerts users when filter changes are needed. This feature eliminates the guesswork, ensuring that the systems operate at peak efficiency and maintain optimal water quality.

Installation of these units is user-friendly, often requiring only basic plumbing skills, making it accessible for DIY enthusiasts. Additionally, both models are designed for low maintenance, offering long service life and reliability, which makes them an excellent investment for those looking to elevate their home water quality.

In summary, the Kenmore 625.34859 and 625.34857 are advanced water filtration systems that combine effective multi-stage filtration, cutting-edge reverse osmosis technology, high capacity, and user-friendly features. Their ability to deliver purified water consistently makes them a popular choice for families looking to improve their drinking water quality and ensure their health and well-being.
