service: TIMER / SOFTENER, SERVICE CHECKOUT PROCEDURE ..........................................

If you are not getting soft water, and an error code is
not displayed, use the procedures below to find the
problem. First, make the following visual checks.

VISUAL CHECKS: (1) Is there electrical power to the
outlet the softener transformer is plugged into? (2) Is

there salt in the storage tank? (3) Is the plumbing
bypass valve(s) directing water for soft water service...
see pages 6 and 8? (4) Is the valve drain hose open
to the drain, not elevated too high, and unobstructed?
If you do not find a problem with the visual checks,
continue below.
