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 diag- nostics.

NOTES: The faceplate display must show a steady time (not flashing). If an Error code shows, first press the #1 SELECT button to enter the diagnostic display.

1.Press the ON/OFF-HOLD button and hold in for 3 seconds. RECHARGE NOW and FILL begin to flash (or clean backwash begins, if set) 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.

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

2.After observing fill, press the ON/OFF-HOLD 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 brine¼

¼nozzle and/or venturi dirty or defective.

¼nozzle and venturi not seated properly on gasket.

¼restricted drain (check drain fitting and hose).

¼defective nozzle and venturi seal.

¼other 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/OFF-HOLD to move the soften- er into backwash. Look for a fast flow of water from the drain hose.

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

4.Press ON/OFF-HOLD 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/OFF- HOLD.
