POWER OUTAGE MEMORY
If electrical power to the water softener is lost, “mem- ory'' built into the timer circuitry will keep all settings for up to six hours. While the power is out, the dis- play is blank and the water softener will not regener- ate. When electrical power is restored, the following will occur:
Reset the present time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless a change is desired. Even if the clock is incorrect after a long power outage, the softener operates as it should to keep your water soft. However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the clock to the correct time of day.
NOTE: If the water softener was regenerating when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
WATER FLOW INDICATOR
Whenever the softener has water flowing from the outlet port, the display will show water droplets scroll- ing down the right hand side of the screen (See Figure 24). The faster the water flow, the faster the droplets will flash.

SALT EFFICIENCY
When this feature is ON, the water softener will oper- ate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per pound of salt or higher (May recharge more often using smaller salt dosage and less water). The sof- tener is shipped with this feature set OFF.

Efficiency Icon
In the state of California: You must turn the Salt Efficiency Feature ON. This may initiate more frequent recharges. However, it will operate at 4,000 grains per pound of salt or higher.
