Resetting the display during operation
Press any key to illuminate the display, press the
[SET] key once. The display will ash and indicate
present time. Use the keys to alter the time as
described on page 7.
Power loss
In the event of a power failure, your softener will
enter a low power mode and stop the operation of
the backlight and motor. If the power is restored
within 15 seconds then the softener will continue
to operate normally. For a power loss longer than
15 seconds the softener display will show PF
(power fail) on the display. When power is restored
the softener will return to the service position and
the current time will need to be reset. Individual
programming parameters should be unaffected.
Flow indicator
During normal operation, a ow indicator will ash
on the display at a rate of one litre per pulse when
water is passing through the softener.
Cleaning
For best results use a damp cloth and a mild
detergent. Do not use bleaches, solvents or spirits
as they may damage the surfaces.
Manual regeneration [recharge] button
Under normal operating conditions your water
softener will regenerate automatically. If however a
manual regeneration is required please follow the
procedure set out below.
1. Press any key to illuminate the display.
2. Momentarily pressing the button furthest to
the right under the display will illuminate the
Recharge Tonight symbol on the display and
perform a regeneration at 2.00 a.m. regardless
of the remaining water softener capacity.
3. If the button is subsequently pressed, this will
clear the Recharge Tonight indicator from the
display and cancel the Recharge Tonight feature.
4. If the [recharge] button is pressed down for a
few seconds, the Recharge display will ash and
immediately commence a regeneration cycle
which cannot be cancelled.
Adding salt
Rell the salt no later than when the salt symbol
is indicated on the display or when the salt level is
50mm above the base of the softener.
Acknowledge - low salt reminder: NOTE: This
function is optional - not standard on all models.
If the salt alarm initiates open the salt cover and
add salt into the salt storage area to approximately
half ll the cabinet.
Press [SET] and hold until the salt symbol
disappears. Avoid dirt entering the salt storage
area.
Clean the storage area or brine cavity with
clean water if it gets dirty.
Salt usage
Your water softener is controlled by a
microprocessor which constantly monitors
water usage. The system will build up a history
of your water requirements and calculate the
most economical regeneration pattern. This will
ensure a constant supply of softened water whilst
maintaining high levels of water and salt efciency.
As your water softener uses a proportional brining
system, more frequent regenerations do not
necessarily mean high water / salt usage.
Increase in number or residents
Sudden and short changes in water usage should
not affect your water softener’s behaviour. If
however, the number of guests staying with you
increases, and your water usage patterns alter.
This may cause your water softener to regenerate
more often than normal. As the water usage returns
to its normal level, the number of regenerations will
also return to normal.
Cabinet Water Level
During normal operation the water level inside the
water softener cabinet will rise and fall as required
by the regeneration process. If the water softener
is used within the specied operational parameters
the water level should not reach the overow
connection. If however an overow situation occurs
please refer to the troubleshooting section on
page 21 to diagnose the problem.
