SET HARDNESS, DAYS OVERRIDE & REGENERATION TIME

STEP 1: Press 

NEXT

 and ▲ simultaneously for 3 seconds.

STEP 2:

Hardness:

  Set  the  amount  of  hardness  in  grains  of  hardness 

as calcium carbonate per gallon using the ▲ or ▼ buttons. The 

default is 20. The available range is 1 to 150 in 1 grain increments.

STEP 3: Press 

NEXT

. Regen day: This sets the maximum number of days 

between regenerations. This days override feature can be shut off 

by pressing the ▼ button until “OFF” appears. Set the maximum 

number  of days between  by pressing  ▲ or ▼. Range  is 1– 28 

days. If the OFF position is selected, the softener will regenerate 

based solely on the gallons capacity.

STEP 4:  Press 

NEXT

. Regeneration time (hour): Set the hour of  the day for 

regeneration to occur by using ▲ or ▼ buttons. AM/ PM toggles 

after 12. The default time is 2:00 am.

STEP 5:  Press 

NEXT

. Regeneration time (minutes): Set the minutes of the 

day for regeneration by using ▲ or ▼ buttons. Press 

NEXT

 to exit 

Displays/Settings. Current time of day will be displayed.

PLACING  UNIT  INTO  SERVICE:

  Make  sure  inlet  and  outlet  valves  are  to  their  closed  positions.  If  using  optional 

bypass, place in bypass position. Turn on main water supply. Open a cold water faucet. This will clear the lines of any debris 

(solder, pipe dope, etc.) that may be in the line. Let water run at tap for a couple of minutes, or until clear. Turn off faucet. 

Manually add 1½ gallons of water to the brine tank.
• 

Press and hold the 

REGEN

 button for approximately 5 seconds until the motor starts. 

• 

Wait until display reads 

BACKWASH

 and numbers start counting down.

• 

Momentarily press 

REGEN

 again. Wait until display reads 

BRINE

 and numbers start counting down.

• 

Momentarily press 

REGEN

 again. Valve is now in the second 

BACKWASH

 position.

If using optional bypass 

SLOWLY

 turn bypass valve to 

DIAGNOSTIC

 position

 (figure 2)

 or slowly open inlet valve to allow 

water to slowly enter the softener.

When water is flowing steadily to drain without the presence of air, momentarily press 

REGEN

 again. Display will read 

RINSE

.

Open the outlet valve of the softener, or if using optional bypass place to 

NORMAL OPERATION MODE

 

(figure 3)

.

Allow control to finish the

 RINSE

 cycle. It will then advance to the 

FILL

 position. The brine tank will now automatically fill with 

the proper volume of water for the first regeneration.

Allow the control to automatically advance to the 

SOFTENING

 position.

Load the brine tank with salt. Solar Salt is recommended.

SANITIZING

: Use 2 oz. of 5¼% household chlorine bleach for each cubic foot of resin. Pour bleach directly into the brine 

well of the softener. Press and hold the REGEN button for 5 – 6 seconds until the motor starts running. Allow system to 

 

complete the regeneration automatically. Check for other local and state codes which may also specify sanitation methods.
