Programming the Water Softener
POWER OUTAGE MEMORY
If electrical power to the water softener is
lost, "memory'' built into the timer circuitry will
keep all settings for up to 24 hours. While the
power is out, the display is blank and the water
softener will not regenerate. When electrical
power is restored, the following will occur:
Reset the present time only if the display is
flashing. The HARDNESS and RECHARGE
TIME never require resetting unless a change
is desired. Even if the clock is incorrect after
a long power outage, the softener operates
as it should to keep your water soft. However,
regenerations may occur at the wrong time of
day until you reset the clock to the correct time
of day.
NOTE: If the water softener was regenerating
when power was lost, it will now finish the
cycle.
BLUE INDICATOR LIGHT
Steady blue light indicates that the unit is
working correctly. The light flashes when the
unit needs attention from the user.
• Light will also flash when power to the unit
has been interrupted. Check the PRESENT
TIME setting.
• Light flashes and DAYS TO EMPTY flashes -
check salt level and add salt as required.
• Light flashes and Err is in the display -
electrical problem with system.
LOW SALT SIGNAL
When the DAYS TO EMPTY drops to 15, the
blue indicator light and DAYS TO EMPTY in
the display
will flash every second and the alarm will beep
every 30 seconds (from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM),
to notify the user that the unit is running low
on salt. As soon as any button is pressed, the
alarm will stop beeping. The blue indicator light
and DAYS TO EMPTY will continue to flash.
Once salt is added to the brine tank and the
SALT LEVEL is reset, the DAYS TO EMPTY
will be reset.
ERROR SIGNALS
If there is an error code
detected, the blue
indicator light will flash
4 times every second,
the display will flash Err
and the alarm will beep
every 30 seconds (from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM)
to signal that the softener requires service. The
alarm can be turned off by pressing any button,
but the blue indicator light and display will
continue to flash.
Disconnect the transformer from the wall
outlet momentarily, and plug it back in. The
normal display will appear. The motor may
run for several minutes, as the unit resets. If
the problem is not corrected, the error code
will reappear in 8 minutes. See the Before
you Call for Service section to assist in
troubleshooting the water softener.
