MANUAL ADVANCE DIAGNOSTIC

Use the following procedures to advance the filter

valve through the regeneration cycles to check op-

eration.
Remove the top cover to observe cam and switch

operation during valve rotation.
DISPLAY MUST SHOW TIME AND DAY
1. Press and hold the RECHARGE keypad for 3 sec-

onds until RECHARGE NOW flashes in the display

and the filter moves into the backwash cycle.

...If the motor does not run, check the motor and all

wiring connections.
Look for a fast flow of water from the drain hose (see

specifications, page 4).
...An obstructed flow indicates a plugged top distrib-

utor, backwash flow plug, or drain hose.

NOTE:

Be sure household water pressure (well sys-

tem) is maintained at a minimum of 20 psi. Adjust the

pump switch upward, if needed.

2. Press the RECHARGE keypad to move the filter

into fast rinse. Again, look for a drain flow rate about

the same as backwash.

3. To return the filter to service, press the RE-

CHARGE keypad once.
