service: MANUAL ADVANCE REGENERATION CHECK .............................................................

This check verifies proper operation of the valve
motor, brine tank fill, brine draw, regeneration flow
rates, and other timer - valve functions. First, make
the initial checks, and the manual initiated
diagnostics.

NOTE: The face plate display must show a steady
time (not flashing).

1. Press the RECHARGE button and hold in for 3
seconds. RECHARGE NOW 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 brine tank.

!

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 flashlight 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.
!

If the softener does not draw brine…

…Nozzle and/or venturi dirty or defective.
…Nozzle and venturi not seated properly on gasket.
…Restricted drain (check drain fitting and hose).
…Defective nozzle and venturi seal.

…Other inner valve defect (rotor seal, rotor & disc,
wave washer, etc.).

3. Press RECHARGE 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.

4. To return the softener to service, press RECHARGE.
