_;_;: SECTION2 _J_,,,,J,_l HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS

B. SOFT WATER SERVICE and REGENERATION

AUTOMATIC BYPASS

Dunng the brining, brine rinse and backwash cycles

of regeneration, HARD water goes through the soft- ener valve and to the house pipes. If a faucet is opened, hard water is there for your needs. Howev-

er, you should not use hot water, if possible, because the water heater will refill with hard water. The soft-

ener, as factory programmed, regenerates from 2:00 AM to about 4:00 AM, a time when not much water is used.

If you start your day prior to 4 AM, you may need

to change the recharge starting time. Set the re-

charge time to 12:00 AM or 1:00 AM (page 1-4).

Then regeneration will start and end that much ear- lier and your water heater will not refill with hard water if a hot faucet is opened.

ELECTRONICS

Two main parts of the softener's electronics are [] a WATER METER, and [] a COMPUTER.

[] WATER METER--The water meter is in the soft-

ener valve outlet. As water flows through the meter,

it sends electric pulses to the computer. The com-

puter changes the pulses to a measure in gallons of water.

[] COMPUTER -- The computer is part of the

faceplate timer circuit board. It is programmed to

know the softener's capacity (how many grains of

hardness minerals it will take out of the water before

a regeneration is needed). When starting the soften-

er, page 1- 4, you set it for the grains per gallon (gpg)

hardness

of

the

water.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To find

a regeneration

pattern

best

for your

needs,

the

computer

uses: (1) water usage from the meter,

(2)

hardness

setting,

(3)

softener

capacity,

 

and

(4)

time

since

the

last

regeneration.

The

computer

always

adjusts

this

pattern

to your water

using

habits.

It works

toward

providing

you

with

soft

water for the longest time and at the most efficient salt usage.

Softening capacity is used as hard water goes

through the softener and hardness minerals are

removed. When the computer determines that only enough capacity remains to provide soft water up to

the next regeneration starting time (2:00 AM, or as

otherwise set) it will schedule a regeneration.

RECHARGE TONIGHT displays until the

regeneration begins. When the regeneration begins,

RECHARGE TONIGHT goes off and *RECHARGE

or RECHARGE TIME REMAINING flashes during the regeneration.

* Note:

If the CLEAN feature is set to ON, a cleaning back- wash (CLEAN and Bkwsh or Rinse flashes in the dis-

play, along with the minutes of the clean cycle re-

maining), precedes the recharge.
