WATER INTERMITTENTLY HARD
o
Possible increase in water hardness: See.... Electronic Demand Timer -- page
10.
o Hot water used when softener is regenerating: The water heater will refill with
hard water... see Automatic Hard Water Bypass During Regenerations, page 17.
o Leaking faucet or toilet valve: A small leak will waste hundreds of liters of
water in just a few days. Fix all water leaks immediately.
OPTIONAL RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (recharge) may be desired, or needed. Two
examples are:
o You have used more water than usual (house guests, extra washing, etc.) and
you may run out of soft water before the next regeneration.
o You did not refill the storage tank with salt before it was all gone.
Use one of the following features to start a regeneration immediately, or at the next
preset regeneration start time.
RECHARGE NOW
Press and hold in the TOUCH - HOLD button until
RECHARGE NOW starts to flash in the time display area.
The softener begins an immediate regeneration, and when
over in about two hours, you will have a new supply of soft water.
Once started, you cannot cancel this regeneration.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
Touch (do not hold) the TOUCH - HOLD button, and
RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes in the time display area.
A regeneration will occur at the next preset regeneration
start time. If you decide to cancel this regeneration,
touch the same button once more.
VACATION
A-Star Demand water softeners regenerate only while water is used and softening
capacity must be restored. For this reason, the softener will not regenerate when you are
away from home for extended periods.
