Water Right Impression

This document is a Master Programming Manual for Water-Right Impression, Impression Plus, and Impression Twin Models, effective January 2018. It details the operation, programming, and maintenance of these water treatment systems.

General Operation

The device features a control panel with buttons: CLOCK, REGEN, NEXT, +, and -. Pressing NEXT toggles through five main displays:

Time of Day: Shows current time (e.g., 8:20 PM MON). This is the default screen after a reset.
Flow Rate: Displays the current water flow rate in GPM (e.g., 8.0 GPM). This indicates the amount of water flowing through and being treated by the unit. The "GPM" and flow rate flash when the turbine is rotating.
Capacity Remaining: Shows the unit's remaining capacity in gallons (e.g., 1600 GAL). This screen is not displayed if the unit's capacity is set to OFF. The unit may run into negative capacities and regenerate two nights in a row if it overruns its capacity by a selected percentage.
Days to a Regen: Indicates the number of days remaining until the next regeneration (e.g., 3 days). This screen is not displayed if the unit's day override is set to off. "REGEN TODAY" will alternate with the current screen header if a regeneration is expected tonight.
Dealer Name/Phone Number: Displays a scrolling dealer name and phone number (e.g., 555-555-5555 DEALER NA). This screen flashes alternately with any of the other chosen displays if set.

To initiate a regeneration to occur tonight, press REGEN from any general operation screen.

Button Sequences

Unlock Valve Settings: To change manufacturer's settings, press –, NEXT, +, CLOCK in sequence. To lock settings, repeat the same sequence.
Clear Error on Screen: Press and hold NEXT and REGEN for three seconds.
Clear Service Alarm: If a service alarm is triggered, press and hold + and – simultaneously for three seconds to reset both gallon and year alarms.

Set Time Screens

Accessed by pressing CLOCK from the general display.

Set Hour: Adjusts the hour (e.g., 2:00 AM) using + or – buttons. AM/PM toggles after 12 AM.
Set Minutes: Adjusts the minutes (e.g., 2:35 AM) using + or – buttons.
Set Current Day: Adjusts the day of the week (e.g., WED) using + or – buttons. The default setting is WED.

Typical Regen Screens

These screens are only visible when the unit is in regeneration.

Backwash Remaining: Displays time remaining in the current regeneration cycle (e.g., 2 3:30). The "2" flashes for a second backwash if two backwashes are programmed.
Generator On: Displays time remaining in the current cycle (e.g., 53:45 MIN). If an ozone generator is connected and set to ON, its duration is displayed.

Softener Installer/User Screens

Accessed by pressing and holding NEXT and + simultaneously for three seconds. The system returns to the general display after five minutes of inactivity.
