Cleaning/Regeneration Mode
Cycle times will vary depending on your water usage habits, the system operational history,
pre-programmed settings, and other environmental factors. In Regeneration Mode the dis-
play shows the current cleaning cycle description and the remaining time for that cycle to
execute. The cleaning sequence is as follows:
System Control & Operation
Tank Fill
Your system calculates the exact amount of
brine solution required to properly clean itself
based on pre-programmed settings, opera
-
tional history, your water usage habits, and the
age of the system. Your system is online and in
service at this time.
Percolation
Your system remains online and in service
while the water and salt slowly mix together to
create a perfectly saturated sodium or potas
-
sium brine solution.
Brine Draw
Your system will extract brine water from the
brine tank and apply it to the ion exchange
media in the tank. This begins the ion ex
-
change process where trapped hardness and
other contaminants are forced off of the ion
exchange resin beads.
Slow Rinse
Once the brine supply is exhausted, your
system will begin slowly rinsing contaminants
through the media bed and out of the tank to
drain.
Backwash
Your system rapidly discharges water upwards
through the media to the drain. This ensures
that trapped sediment & broken media are
ushed out of the tank to minimize pressure
loss & channeling.
Rapid Rinse
A high velocity stream of water is directed
downwards through the multimedia bed to
compact each of the media layers, ush hard
water from the tank, and prepare for returning
itself to service.
Return to Service
The system slowly drives the operating piston
to the home position and gracefully brings
itself back online, ready to work hard for you.
Your system will periodically perform an antibacterial deep cleaning. This cleaning cycle will
occur after a designated period of time (we recommend at least once a week). This clean-
ing cycle will inject ProGuard into your system and possibly even use salt to clean itself, de-
pending on your water usage. If you haven’t used any water during that interval, the system
will not use any salt during the antibacterial cleaning cycle.
