Setting The 3 Button Controller
DEMAND REGENERATION
You won't have to worry about vacation settings or extra guests because the controller measures
water usage and regenerates based on need. The appliance will regenerate using only the neces-
sary amount of water and salt. If power has been turned off, your appliance will retain programmed
settings indefinitely. See figure 9.
1) ENTERING YOUR SETTING NUMBER
See page 14 for determining your setting number. The water hardness setting number shown in the
digital readout will increase 1 grain each time you push the "SET" button. After 70 grains (90 grains
for
BigBoss
®
) the read-out will return to 1, and continue to count up from 1 until the display number
matches the hardness number. (See setting conversion chart on page 34 for
cityBoss
®
) After 5
seconds the display will change to show "gallons remaining (x 100). To recheck the hardness, touch
"SET."
2) GALLONS REMAINING
After setting water hardness, gallons remaining until the next automatic regeneration is shown by
the read-out lights. NOTE: Gallons remaining are in hundreds. 12=1,200 gallons
3) RECHARGE/REGENERATION STATUS
Regeneration cycle numbers are shown during regeneration. The read-out will flash with the cycle
number. The flashing regeneration numbers are:
(01) First Backwash
(02) Brine/Slow Rinse
(03) Second Backwash
(04) Brine Refill
(05) Service
See pages 11 and 12 for cycle descriptions and illustrations
To quickly advance through the regeneration cycles, press and hold the Immediate Recharge button
for 5 seconds. Wait for the cycle to begin, after 20 seconds press and hold the Immediate Recharge
button until the cycle number changes (about 5 seconds.) Each cycle can be advanced in this man-
ner.
4) CONTROLLER STATUS LIGHT
It is normal for the light to blink in the digital readout window. This indicates the controller is operat-
ing properly. See page 9.
5) waterMizer
The waterMizer
®
light will blink whenever water is being used. See figure 9. Does not apply to the
waterBoss
®
Filters. See separate start up procedures. Pages 35, 36, and 37.
6) IMMEDIATE RECHARGE
To start an immediate regeneration, press The "IMMEDIATE RECHARGE" button and hold for 5
seconds. The Immediate Recharge button is used when starting your water conditioner, to start an
immediate regeneration, or to restore capacity if you have run out of salt. If your
waterBoss
®
has
run out of salt, you may not have soft water available. Remove the salt lid and add salt. Wait two
hours, then press the "IMMEDIATE RECHARGE" button and hold for 5 seconds. See figure 9.
