ALWAYS MAKE THESE INITIAL CHECKS FIRST
1. Does the time display show the correct time of
day?
- - If display is blank, check power source to the
soft-ener.
- - If time is flashing, power was off for over 24
hours. The softener resumes normal operation
but regenerations occur at the wrong time.
--If an error code (Example: Err3) shows in the
faceplate display, go to AUTOMATIC ELEC­
TRONIC DIAGNOSTICS.
2. Plumbing bypass valve(s) must be in full service
position.
3. The inlet and outlet pipes must connect to the
softener inlet and outlet respectively.
4. Is the transformer plugged into a "live",
grounded wall outlet, and the power cable
fastened securely?
5. The valve drain hose must be free of kinks and
sharp bends, and not elevated over 8 ft. above the
floor.
REMOVE THE TOP COVER AND SALT TANK
COVER
6. Is there salt in the storage tank?
7. Is the brine tubing connected? (See water flow
diagrams).
8. Is the brine valve float set right? (See page 23).
9. Press the SELECT button 2 times to display the
hardness setting. Be sure it is the correct setting
for the household's water supply. (Make a
hardness test of the raw water and compare with
the hardness setting. Also test a soft water
sample to verify if a problem exists.) Press the
SELECT button twice more to return to present
time in the display.
If you do not find the problem after making initial
checks, do the MANUAL INITIATED ELECTRONIC
DIAGNOSTICS, and the MANUAL ADVANCE
REGENERATION CHECK.
