MANUAL ADVANCE REGENERATION CHECK

This check verifies proper operation of the valve

motor, brine tank fill, brine draw, regeneration flow

rates, and other controller functions. Always make

the initial checks, and the manual initiated diag-

nostics.

1. Press theON/OFF-HOLDbuttonandhold infor

3 seconds. RECHARGE NOW and FILLbeginto

flash (or clean backwash begins, if set) as the

softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration.

When FILL is on steady, remove the brinewell

cover and, using a flashlight, observe fill water

entering the tank.

a. If water does not enter the tank, look for an ob-

structed nozzle,venturi, fillflow plug, brinetub-

ing, or brine valve riser pipe.

¼restricted drain (check drain fitting and

hose).

¼defective nozzle and venturi seal.

¼other inner valve defect (rotor seal, rotor &

disc, wave washer, etc.).

NOTE: If water system pressure is low, an elevated

drain hose may cause back pressure, stopping brine

draw.

3. AgainpressON/OFF-HOLDtomovethesoften-
