Keep this manual with your water softener. If repairs are needed, the service technician must have

the information on the following 8 pages. For telephone assistance, call toll free, 1-800-426-9345.

ALWAYS MAKE THESE INITIAL CHECKS FIRST

Does the time display show the correct time of day?

-- If display is blank, check power source to the softener.

--If time is flashing, power was off for over 6

hours. The softener resumes normal operation

but regenerations occur at the wrong time.

- - If an error code (Example: Err03) shows in the

faceplate display, go to AUTOMATIC ELEC-

TRONIC DIAGNOSTICS.

Plumbing

bypass valve(s) must be fully in ser-

 

vice position.

The inlet and outlet pipes must connect to the softener inlet and outlet respectively.

Is the transformer plugged into a "live",

grounded wall outlet, and the power cable fas- tened securely to the controller?

The valve drain hose must be free of kinks and

sharp bends, and not elevated over 8 ft. above the floor.

Remove the top cover and salt tank cover.

Is there salt in the storage tank?

Is the brine tubing connected? (See water flow diagrams).

II Is the brine valve float set right? (See page 5-4).

IE Press the SELECT button three times to display

the hardness setting. Be sure it is the correct set-

ting for the household's water supply. (Make a

hardness test of the raw water and compare with

the hardness setting. Also test a soft water sam-
