RECHARGE NOW initiated
RECHARGE NOW
At times of greater than normal water use, such as
when you have guests, you could run out of condi-
tioned water before the next scheduled recharge. If
this happens, you may want to initiate an immediate
regeneration, as follows:
1. Press and hold the RECHARGE button until the
words “RECHARGE NOW" flash in the display.
The softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration right
away. “RECHARGE NOW” will flash during the
regeneration. When completed (in about 2 hours),
full water conditioning capacity is restored.
NOTE: Avoid using hot water while the softener is
regenerating, because the water heater will
refill with bypass hard water.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
If you do not want to start an immediate recharge, but
would like an extra recharge at the next preset
recharge time, do the following to schedule a
recharge:
1. Press and release (do not hold) the RECHARGE
button.
FIG. 23
The words “RECHARGE TONIGHT" flash in the dis-
play, and the softener will recharge at the next preset
recharge time (If you decide to cancel the regenera-
tion before it begins, press and release the
RECHARGE button once more, and “RECHARGE
TONIGHT” will disappear from the display). During
regeneration, the word “RECHARGE NOW" will flash
in the screen. When completed, full water condition-
ing capacity is restored.
