Recharging
If you have guests visiting, or other times
when you use more water than usual, you
could begin to run out of soft water. If the
softener is not scheduled to regenerate for
another day or two, you would get hard water
until then. If this happens, or you think it
might happen, press and hold in the TOUCH
or HOLD button for three seconds until
RECHARGENOW shows. RECHARGENOW
will flash in the display during the
regeneration, which lasts under 2 hours.
NOTE:Avoid using HOTwater while the
softener regenerates, because bypass hard
water will refill the water heater. Seethe
Automatic Bypass section.

What to Do When a Power Outage Occurs
If electrical power to the timer goes off, the
memory built into the timer circuitry keeps
all settings for six hours (minimum) or more.
The display is blank and softener will not
regenerate.
When electrical power comes on, one of two
things will happen.
m The present time of day will show,
Le_
meaning the timer memory has kept
all settings.
NOTE:If the softener was in a regeneration
when the power was lost, it will now finish
the cycle.
OR
[] The display will show a flashing time.
The timer memory did not keep the time
settings and they must be reset. See the
Programming the Control section.
You have to reset the present time only if the
display is flashing. The HARDNESS,NUMBEROF
PEOPLEand RECHARGETIMEnever require
resetting unless a change isdesired. Evenif the
clock isincorrect after a long power outage, the
softener works as it should to keep your water
soft. However, regenerations may occur at the
wrong time of the day until you reset the clock
to the correct time of day.
If the softener was in a regeneration when
the power went off, the valve will return to
service position without finishing the
regeneration cycle.
Ifyour water tastes salty:
- use RECHARGE NOW to start another
regeneration. See the Recharging section.
- open one or more soft water faucets and
allow to run until the salt taste is gone.
