Tank Light

The softener is equipped with a tank light for viewing the salt level in the brine tank. Push the tank light

button on the electronic control once and the tank light will turn on. Pushing the tank light button again

will turn the light off. The tank light will automatically turn off after a period of four minutes if the tank

light button is not used to turn it off.

“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 six 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.

You have to 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 works 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.

Water Flow Indicator

Whenever the softener has water flowing from the outlet port, the display will show water droplets

scrolling down the right hand side of the screen. The faster the water flow, the faster the droplets will

flash.

Droplets indicate water

flow through softener
