8) at a fast rate to flush iron minerals, dirt and sediments from the bed and to the drain. The bed lifts and expands for good cleaning. Water Flow Through the Softener in Backwash hard water hard water bypass OUT t fIN drain resin bed lifted and expanded [] FAST RINSE: Backwash is followed by a fast flow of water down through the resin tank. The fast flow packs the resin bed and gets it ready for return to service (FIG. 9). After fast rinse, the softener returns to service. Hard water goes into the resin tank where the resin bed again takes out the hardness minerals. Soft water goes to the house soft water pipes.

SOFT WATER SERVICE AUTOMATIC BYPASS During the brining, brine rinse and backwash cycles of regeneration, HARD water goes through the softener valve and to the house pipes. If a faucet is opened, hard water is there for your needs. However, you should not use hot water, if possible, because the water heater will refill with hard water. The soft ener, as factory programmed, regenerates from 2:00 AM to about 4:00 AM, a time when not much water is used. If you start your day prior to 4 AM, you may need to change the recharge starting time. Set the recharge time to 12:00 AM or 1:00 AM (page 1-4). Then regeneration will start and end that much earlier and your water heater will not refill with hard water if a hot faucet is opened. and REGENERATION ELECTRONICS Two main parts of the softener's electronics are [] a WATER METER, and [] a COMPUTER. [] WATER METER--The water meter is in the softener valve outlet. As water flows through the meter, it sends electric pulses to the computer. The computer changes the pulses to a measure in gallons of water. [] COMPUTER --The computer is part of the faceplate timer circuit board. It is programmed to know the softener's capacity (how many grains of hardness minerals it will take out of the water before a regeneration is needed). When starting the softener, page 1-4, you set it for the grains per gallon (gpg) hardness of the water. To find a regeneration pattern best for your needs, the computer uses: (1) water usage from the meter, (2) hardness setting, (3) softener capacity, and (4) time since the last regeneration. The computer always adjusts this pattern to your water using habits. It works toward providing you with soft water for the longest time and at the most efficient salt usage. Softening capacity is used as hard water goes through the softener and hardness minerals are removed. When the computer determines that only enough capacity remains to provide soft water up to the next regeneration starting time (2:00 AM, or as otherwise set) it will schedule a regeneration. RECHARGE TONIGHT displays until the regeneration begins. When the regeneration begins, RECHARGE TONIGHT goes off and *RECHARGE or RECHARGE TIME REMAINING flashes during the regeneration. * Note: If the CLEAN feature is set to ON, a cleaning backwash (CLEAN and Bkwsh or Rinse flashes in the dis play, along with the minutes of the clean cycle remaining), precedes the recharge. 2-6 [i:ii:ii:ii:_i:i:ii:_i:i:ifSECTION 3 F!i:ii:_i:i:ii:_i:i:ii:_i:] CARE OF YOUR WATER SOFTENER A.

You will have a loss in softening capacity and may get partly hard water if less than 10 inches (salt monitor level 2) of salt is in the storage tank. FOR SALT FILLING DIRECTIONS. THE SALT MONITOR, PAGE 2-1. SALT BRIDGE a hard crust or salt bridge forms in the tank. It is usually caused by the wrong kind of salt. When empty space forms between and salt. Then salt will not dissolve (melt) ter to make brine. Without brine, the resin high hu the salt the water in the wa bed does not regenerate and you will have hard water. If the storage tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if you have a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but the bridge is under it. The following is the best way to check for a salt bridge. Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of the tank. Hold a broom handle, or like tool, up to the softener as shown in FIG. 10. Make a pencil mark on the handle, 1" or 2" below the top height of the rim. Then, carefully push it straight down int...
