• Do not use petroleum jelly, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere.
A silicon lubricant may be used on the black o-rings but it is not necessary.
• Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Thread seal tape is the preferred
sealant but is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of O-ring seals.

User Display Settings
General Operation: When the system is operating, one of the
following displays may be shown. Pressing "NEXT" will alternate
between the displays:
• Current Time of Day
• Days or Volume Remaining: Days remaining is the number of
days left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle.
Capacity remaining is the cubic meters that will be treated
before the system goes through a regeneration cycle.
• Current Treated Water Flow Rate: The current treated water
flow rate through the system.
If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at
the present time of regeneration, the words "REGEN TODAY" will
appear on the display.
If a water meter is installed, the word "SOFTENING" flashes on the
display when water is being treated (i.e. water is flowing through
the system).
Regeneration Mode
Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water
usage. An example of a time with low water usage is when a
household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the
system is regenerating, untreated water will be used.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to
include information about the step of the regeneration process
and the time remaining for that step to be completed. The system
runs through the steps automatically and will reset itself to
provide treated water when the regeneration has been completed.

Manual Regeneration
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner
than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as manual
regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage
because of guests or a heavy laundry day for example.
Immediate Regeneration: To initiate a manual regeneration
immediately, press and hold the "REGEN" button for three seconds.
The system will begin to regenerate immediately.
Note: The control valve may be forced through the various
regeneration cycles by pressing the "REGEN" button.
Delayed Regeneration: To initiate a manual regeneration at the
preset delayed regeneration time, press and release "REGEN". The
words "REGEN TODAY" will flash on the display to indicate that the
system will regenerate at the preset delayed regeneration time.
If you pressed the "REGEN" button in error, pressing the button
again will cancel the request.
If the regeneration time option is set to "on 0" there is no set
delayed regeneration time so "REGEN TODAY" will not activate if
"REGEN" button is pressed.
Note: For softeners, if brine tank does not contain salt, fill with
salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.
Set Time of Day
Time of day should only need to be set on installation or when
daylight saving time begins or ends. If the time flashes on & off
after a power loss the time of day should be reset & the CR2032
button battery replaced. Note: All other settings will not require
reprogramming. In the unlikely event of a power loss during a
backwash, when the power is restored, a dry-reset should be
performed (see page 27), followed by a manual regeneration
(refer to above) if convenient.
