Normal Operation
1. Home Display
a. Alternates between the display of Time of Day and Number of Days until the Next Backwash.
(Metered Softeners will alternate between time of days and gallons remaining until next
regeneration)
- Days Remaining until the Next Backwash will count down from the entered value until it
reaches 1 day remaining.
- A Backwash Cycle will then be initiated at the next designated regeneration time.
2. Battery Back-Up (Uses a standard 9-volt alkaline battery.)
Features of Battery Back-Up:
• During power failures, the battery will maintain the time of day as long as the battery has
power. The display is turned o to conserve battery power during this time. To conrm
that the battery is working, press either button and the display will turn on for ve (5)
seconds.
• If power failure occurs while system is regenerating, the valve will motor to a shut o posi
tion to prevent constant ow to drain. Depending upon system pressure and other factors,
it is possible to observe a reduced ow to drain during this step. After power is restored,
the valve will return and nish the cycle where it left o prior to the power interruption.
• When used without battery back-up, during a power failure, the unit stops at its current
point in the regeneration position and then restarts at that point when the power is re
stored. The time will be oset by the increment of time the unit was without power, so it is
necessary to reset the time of day on the unit. No other system will be aected.
Starting Extra Regeneration Cycle
1. To Start Delayed Extra Cycle Example ( 1 )

2. To start Immediate Extra Cycle First complete above step.
- With Days Remaining Until Next Regeneration at ‘1’.
- Press and hold the Set/Change button.
- After 3 seconds, the backwash cycle will begin.
3. To Fast Cycle thru regeneration First complete above 2 steps.
Note: Press and hold the Set/Change button for 3 seconds to advance to the next cycle step.
