^ EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually started
regeneration (recharge) may be
desired, or needed. Two exam­
ples are:
- You have used more water than
usual (guests visiting) and you
may run out of soft water before
the next timer started regenera­
tion.
- You did not refill the softener
with salt before it was gone. After
you refill with salt:
You can start a regeneration right
away, or you can set the timer to
regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or
other preset recharge time). Do
the following.

^ RECHARGE TONIGHT
Press and release (do not hold) the
RECHARGE
button. RE­
CHARGE TONIGHT flashes in the display, and the
softener begins regeneration at the next preset re­
charge time. Press and release the RECHARGE but­
ton once more if you decide to cancel the regenera­
tion, and RECHARGE TONIGHT will not flash in
the display.
^ SALT MONITOR SYSTEM
The face plate timer has a low salt monitor with an
indicator light to remind you to add salt to the stor­
age tank. To set this monitor system:
Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the
storage tank.
The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the
tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see drawing be­
low). Observe the number the leveled salt is at
or closest to.
Now, press the SALT LEVEL ADJUST button
until black bars display up to the salt level num­
ber. For example, the pictures below show the
salt level at 6.
Finally, set the level you want the low salt indi­
cator light to come on. Press the SIGNAL LIGHT
ADJUST button until a (★ ) shows opposite this
number. In the example below, the light will
come on when the stored salt drops to level 2. At
level 2, the storage tank is about 1/3 full. This is
the lowest you should allow the stored salt level
to drop to (see note on page 1-6).
If you wish to turn the salt monitor off, press the
SIGNAL LIGHT ADJUST button until OFF
shows above.
Note:
Your salt monitor is an estimate of your salt level; ac­
curacy depends on the type of salt used and other
regeneration characteristics.
