‘‘Power---Outage Memory’’

If electrical power to the water softener is lost, ‘‘memory’’ built into the timer circuitry will keep all

settings for up to eight hours. While the power is out, the display is bla nk and the water softener will

not regenerate. When e lectrical power is restored, the following will occur.

1. You have to reset the present time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS and

RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless a change is desired. Even if the clock is

incorrect after a long power outag e, the softener works as it should to keep your wa ter soft.

However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the clock to the correct

time of day.

NOTE: If the water softener was regenerating when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.

Water Flow Indicator

Whenever the softener has water flowing from the outlet port, the display will show water droplets

scrolling down the right hand side of the screen. The faster the water flow, the faster the droplets will

flash.

Droplets indicate water

flow through softener

Salt Efficiency

When this feature is ON, the water softe n er will operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness
