Manually Regenerating the Water Softener
There are two different purposes and methods for manual regeneration of the water
softener.
• Delayed Regeneration
• Immediate Regeneration
Reasons you may want to manually regenerate the water softener:
1. If the brine tank has run out of salt:
• After adding salt to the brine tank manually regenerate the softener using the
delayed regeneration method. (The water needs time to dissolve the salt for a
minimum of six hours.)
• To initiate a delayed regeneration simply push the REGEN button one time.
(Don’t hold the button down) REGEN TODAY will appear on the left hand side of
the screen. The softener is queued to regenerate that day at the preset
regeneration time. (Typically this is in the middle of the night.) If for some reason
you want to cancel the delayed regeneration just push the REGEN button again.
REGEN TODAY will no longer be visible on the screen.
2. If you have guests coming to stay in your home:
• The water softener is programmed to measure the specific water usage of your
family and regenerates based on water usage history. If you know that there will
be extra people using the water you may want to manual regenerate the softener
using the delayed regeneration method.
• To initiate a delayed regeneration simply push the REGEN button one time.
(Don’t hold the button down) REGEN TODAY will appear on the left hand side of
the screen. The softener is queued to regenerate that day at the preset
regeneration time. (Typically this is in the middle of the night.) If for some reason
you want to cancel the delayed regeneration just push the REGEN button again.
REGEN TODAY will no longer be visible on the screen.
3. If the water is hard:
• The quickest way to get soft water in your home is by initiating an immediate
regeneration of the water softener.
• To initiate an immediate regeneration of the water softener push and hold the
REGEN button for approximately six seconds. The unit will immediately begin its
regeneration cycle and water will be running to the drain. (When the softener has
completed the manual regeneration the system will automatically return to its
preset normal operations.)
Note: After an immediate regeneration of the water softener there is typically a delay
of three to four days to purge the system i.e. water heater, pipes etc. of the hard
water. After the three to four day period is passed and there is still hard water
present you may need to contact a service professional.
