Setting The 4 Button Controller

DEMAND REGENERATION
You won't have to worry about vacation settings or extra guests because the controller measures
water usage and regenerates based on need. The appliance will regenerate using only the neces-
sary amount of water and salt. If power has been turned off, your appliance will retain programmed
settings indefinitely. See figure 9.
1) ENTERING YOUR HARDNESS SETTING
See page 12 for determining your setting number. Push the “SET” button for about 5 seconds.
Now, the water hardness setting number shown in the digital readout will increase 1 grain each time
you push the "CHANGE" button. After 70 grains for
Model 700 (90 grains for Model 900 and 25
grains for Model 550 ) the read-out will return to 03, and continue to count up until the display num-
ber matches the hardness number. Press the “SET” button to save the hardness number. To
recheck the hardness, hold down the "SET" for about 5 seconds.
2) GALLONS REMAINING
After setting water hardness, gallons remaining until the next automatic regeneration is shown in the
digital display. NOTE: Gallons remaining are in hundreds. 12=1,200 gallons
3) RECHARGE/REGENERATION STATUS
Regeneration cycle numbers are shown during regeneration. The read-out will flash with the cycle
number. The flashing regeneration numbers are:
First cycle: (01) First Backwash
Second & Third cycles: (02) Brine/Slow Rinse
Fourth cycle: (03) Second Backwash
Fifth cycle: (04) Brine Refill
Sixth cycle: (HO) Service
To quickly advance through the regeneration cycles, press and hold the Regenerate button for 2
seconds. Wait for the cycle to begin, after 20 seconds press and hold the Regenerate button until
the cycle number changes (about 2 seconds.) Each cycle can be advanced in this manner.
4) waterMizer
The waterMizer
® wheel will turn whenever water is being used. See figure 9.
5) REGENERATE
To start an immediate regeneration, press The “Regenerate” button and hold for 3 seconds. The
Regenerate button is used when starting your water conditioner, to start an immediate regeneration,
or to restore capacity if you have run out of salt. If your appliance has run out of salt, you may not
have soft water available. Open the salt lid and add salt. Wait two hours, then press the
"REGENERATE" button and hold for 3 seconds. See figure 9.
6) POWERCLEAN ™
The powerClean™ feature is a service/maintenance step for water supplies that have an excessive
amount of iron. Activating this feature is a simple push of the powerClean™ button on the controller.
PowerClean™ will appear in the display when this feature is activated. The appliance will regener-
ate every other day with five pounds of salt. Leave the powerClean™ feature on for a minimum of
two weeks. The frequent regeneration will elimate iron buildup in the resin bed. The use of salt with
an iron cleaning agent or iron out cleaner is recommended for continuous use as a preventive
measure against iron fouling of the resin bed. To deactivate this feature, simply press the
powerClean™ button. Use this feature every six months as a part of your routine maintenance pro-
cedure to insure a long service life for your water treatment appliance. See figure 9.
