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.

NOTE: The faceplate 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 REGENERATION button and hold in for 3 seconds. *RECHARGE and Fill begin to flash (or clean backwash begins, if set) as the softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration.

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

2.When FILL is on steady, remove the brinewell cover

and, using a flashlight, observe fill water entering the tank.

3.If water does not enter the tank, look for an obstruct- ed nozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine tubing, or brine valve riser pipe.

4.After observing fill, press the REGENERATION but- ton 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.

5.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.
