No or Yes 

If set to Yes, it will force a

set regeneration time 

(such as 02:00 AM). After 

the regeneration, the value 

will be set to No 

Filter?  

No 

Used by qualified service personnel 

to set the model number 

No or Yes 

Has no effect on the 

function of the appliance 

When you press the Display button at “Filter?,” the values are saved, and the controller returns to Normal 

operating mode. 

Operating Modes  

The appliance has two operating modes: Timer mode and Demand Delayed mode. Both modes are equipped 

with Capacity Guard

®

, which ensures that a supply of conditioned water will be available even with excessive 

water usage.  

Mode 1—Timer Mode  

When the appliance is in Timer mode, it will regenerate based on the frequency that is set, for example every 

day or up to every 12 days. The time of regeneration can be set.  

Mode 2—Demand Delayed mode  

When the appliance is in Demand Delayed mode, it will regenerate based on the actual water usage and the 

total capacity of the appliance. The time that the regeneration takes place can be set, for example 2:00 AM. 

Should the total capacity be depleted before the set regeneration time, a forced regeneration will occur.  

72–96 Hour Regeneration 

If this value is set to Yes, the appliance will be forced to regenerate every 72–96 hours unless a regeneration 

based on water usage occurs within the time interval. The value should always be set to Yes if iron is present in 

the water.
