28 Miracle Water Installation & Operation Manual
Manual Advance Regeneration Check
This check verifies proper operation of the valve motor, brine tank fill, brine draw, regeneration flow
rates, and other controller functions. Always make the initial checks, and the manual initiated diag-
nostics.
NOTE: The faceplate display must show a steady time (not flashing). If an error code
shows, first press the (Select/Menu) button to enter the diagnostic display.
1. Press the (Recharge) button and hold in for 3 seconds. RECHARGE begins to flash
as the softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration. Remove the brinewell cover and, using a
flashlight, observe fill water entering the tank.
a. If water does not enter the tank, look for an obstructed nozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine
tubing, or brine valve riser pipe.
2. After observing fill, press the (Recharge) button to move the softener into brining. A
slow flow of water to the drain will begin. Verify brine draw from the brine tank by shining a flash-
light into the brinewell and observing a noticeable drop in the liquid level.
NOTE: Be sure a salt bridge is not preventing water with salt contact.
a. If the unit does not draw brine, check for (most likely to least likely)
- Dirty or defective nozzle and venturi, page 23
- Nozzle and venturi not seated on the gasket, or gasket defective
- Restriction in valve drain, causing a back-pressure (bends, kinks, elevated too high, etc.),
installation Step 6 on page 14
- Obstruction in brine valve or brine tubing
- Inner valve failure (obstructed outlet disc, wave washer defective, etc.)
NOTE: If water system pressure is low, an elevated drain hose may cause back pressure,
stopping brine draw.
3. Again, press the (Recharge) button to move the softener into backwash. Look for a
fast flow of water from the drain hose.
a. An obstructed flow indicates a plugged top distributor, backwash flow plug, or drain hose.
4. Press the (Recharge) button to move the softener into fast rinse. Again look for a fast
drain flow. Allow the softener to rinse for a few minutes to flush out any brine that may remain
in the resin tank from the brining cycle test.
5. To return the softener to service, press the (Recharge) button.
