POSITION INDICATORS

One of the valve position indicators (Serv, Fill, Brine,

Bkwsh, Rinse) is displayed while the softener is re­
charging (See *Note on page 2-1 if the CLEAN fea­

ture is ON). RECHARGE flashes in the display and,

beginning with Brine, the minutes of recharge re­
maining before return to service appears in place of
the present time. When the valve is moving from

^ PROGRAM MEMORY

If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time
display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the
correct time for about 48 hours. When electrical
power comes on again, you have to reset the present
time only if the display is flashing. The HARD­
NESS and RECHARGE TIME never require reset­
ting unless a change is desired. Even if the timer is
incorrect after a long power outage, the softener
works as it should to keep your water soft. Howev­
er, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of
day until you reset the timer to the correct time of
day.

► AVERAGE DAILY GALLONS or LITERS

Press the SELECT 2 button again to show the aver­
age number of gallons of soft water the household
uses each day. This water usage figure is adjusted
daily by the faceplate timer. To turn this display off,
press the SELECT 2 button once more.
