10. Manual regeneration ( )
Under normal operating conditions, your water softener will regenerate automatically and
you should not normally have to regenerate the unit manually. If, however, a manual
regeneration is required, then follow the procedure set out below.
1. Press any key to illuminate the display.
2. Momentarily pressing the button (symbol underneath the display and furthest to
the right) will illuminate Recharge Tonight on the display and perform a regeneration at
2.00a.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 is pressed down for approximately six seconds, the controller will flash the
Recharge display and immediately commence the regeneration cycle which cannot be
cancelled once started.

11. Salt usage
As your water softener
uses a proportional brining system, more frequent regenerations do not necessarily
mean high water / salt usage.
12. Increase in number of residents
Sudden changes in your water usage should not affect your water softeners
performance. If, however, the number of guests staying with you increases, you will
notice that the water usage patterns will 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.
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 efficiency.
13. 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
specified operational parameters, the water level should not reach the overflow
connection. If, however an overflow situation occurs, please refer to the troubleshooting
section on page 15 to diagnose the problem.
Following any overflow situation, reduce the water level by half and initiate a manual
regeneration as described above.
Note: Check the water level weekly and following any unplanned event, e.g. power
failure.
