MANUAL REGENERATION:
Sometimes there is a need to
regenerate before the control valve calls for it. This may be
needed if a period of heavy water use is anticipated or when
the system has been operated without salt.
• To initiate a manual regeneration
at the next
preset regeneration time,
press and release
REGEN
. The words “REGEN TODAY” will flash
on the display to indicate that the system will
regenerate at the next regeneration time (set in
Programming, steps 4 and 5).
If you pressed the
REGEN
button in error, pressing the button again
will cancel the command.
• To initiate a manual regeneration
immediately,
press and hold
the
REGEN
button for three seconds. The system will begin to
regenerate immediately.
This command cannot be cancelled.
Once a manual regeneration is initiated, the unit will go into the FILL position. This position allows water to
enter the brine tank until it reaches the proper level. Once this position is complete, you will notice a 240
Minute (4 hours) SOFTENING position. This 4-hour window allows the salt to dissolve and achieve proper
brine strength. During these FILL and SOFTENING positions, you will have softened water available for
use. Once the unit advances to the BACKWASH position and subsequent positions thereafter (see Start Up
Instructions for regeneration sequence), the water softener will deliver water, but it will be untreated.
IMPORTANT:
With the Dry Salt Storage Feature, the brine tank will refill 4 hours before the actual
regeneration occurs. You may experience a small amount of noise for a short period of time at 10:00 p.m.
(with typical setting) on the night that regeneration is to occur. This noise is only the brine tank filling and at
no time during this process will you be without treated water.

POWER LOSS AND BATTERY REPLACEMENT:
The AC transformer comes with a 15 foot power cord and is
designed for use with the control valve; the transformer should
only be used in a dry location.
In the event of a power outage that is less than 24 hours, the
control valve will remember all settings and time of day. After 24
hours, the only item that needs to be reset is the time of day and
will be indicated by the time of day flashing. All other settings are
permanently stored in the nonvolatile memory.
If a power loss occurs that
is less than 24 hours and the time of
day flashes,
this indicates that the battery is depleted. The time of
day should be reset and the non-rechargeable battery should be
replaced. The battery is a 3 Volt Lithium Coin Cell type 2032 and
is readily available at most stores. To access battery location,
remove front cover (
see diagram on page 14 for battery location).
