Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (recharge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples are:
... You have used more water than usual (house guests, extra washing, etc.) and you may run out of soft
water before the next regeneration.
... You did not refill the storage tank with salt before it was all gone.
Use one of the following features to start a regeneration immediately, or at the next preset regeneration start
time.
RECHARGE NOW
Press and hold in the
RECHARGE
button until
RECHARGE NOW starts to
flash in the time display area.
The softener begins an imme-
diate regeneration, and when over in about two
hours, you will have a new supply of soft water.
Once started, you cannot cancel this regeneration.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
Press
and release the
RECHARGE button, and
RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes
in the time display area. A
regeneration will occur at the
next preset regeneration start time. If you decide to
cancel this regeneration, touch the same button
once more.

MW-25 Demand water softeners regenerate only while water is used and softening capacity must be
restored. For this reason, the softener will not regenerate when you are away from home for extended peri-
ods.
feature: PROGRAM MEMORY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
If electrical power to the softener is interrupted, the
time display is blank, but the timer keeps correct
time for about 6 hours. When power is restored, you
have to reset the present time only if the display is
flashing. All other settings are maintained and never
require resetting unless a change is desired.
If the time is flashing after a long power outage, the
softener continues to work as it should to provide
you with soft water. However, regenerations may
occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the
timer to the correct time of day, page 10.
feature: SALT EFFICIENCY . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
When this feature is ON, the unit will operate at salt
efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per pound of
salt or higher. (May recharge more often using
smaller salt dosage and less water). Press and hold
the SELECT button for 3 seconds until the following
screen is displayed. Press and release the SELECT button once and the
SALT EFFICIENCY display shows. Use the UP /
DOWN buttons to change the ON / OFF displays.
Press SELECT once more to return to normal oper-
ating screens. When this is ON the efficiency icon
will show in the upper right hand corner of the dis-
play.
