Tank Light
The softener is equipped with a tank light for viewing the salt level in the brine tank. Push the tank light
button on the electronic control once and the tank light will turn on. Pushing the tank light button again
will turn the light off. The tank light will automatically turn off after a period of four minutes if the tank
light button is not used to turn it off.
“Power-Outage Memory”
If electrical power to the water softener is lost, “memory” built into the timer circuitry will keep all
settings for up to six hours. While the power is out, the display is blank and the water softener will not
regenerate. When electrical power is restored, the following will occur.
You have to reset the present time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS and RECHARGE
TIME never require resetting unless a change is desired. Even if the clock is incorrect after a long
power outage, the softener works as it should to keep your water soft. However, regenerations may
occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the clock to the correct time of day.
NOTE:
If the water softener was regenerating when power was lost, it will now finish the
cycle.
Water Flow Indicator
Whenever the softener has water flowing from the outlet port, the display will show water droplets
scrolling down the right hand side of the screen. The faster the water flow, the faster the droplets will
flash.
Droplets indicate water
flow through softener
Salt Efficiency
