Overview of Primary Product

Control Valve Function and Cycles of Operation
The AC adapter comes with a 15 foot power cord that is designed for use with the control valve. The AC adapter is for dry location use only. If the power
goes out, only the time of day needs to be reset. All other settings are permanently stored in the nonvolatile memory.
The following chart shows the time for the backwash and rapid rinse cycles for the three available programming options.
Regeneration Cycles and Times for Different Programs
Program Number
Length of Cycle Times (Minutes)
BACKWASH (C1) RAPID RINSE (C4)
P7 6 4

Note: Your CBF Series Residential Backwash Filtration System is factory preset to program number P7, changing the setting to P8 or P9 is rarely needed. But
if a change is desired, please refer to “How to Change the Regeneration Program Settings” on page 2-6.

Power Loss
Power outages of two (2) hours or less will not affect the time clock as the control valve has the ability to hold the
correct time of day due to a capacitor on the printed circuit board. Power outages of more than two (2) hours will
require the resetting of clock to the correct time. Refer to Page 2-5 to resolve. If the power goes out while the system
is regenerating, the cycle picks up where it was when the power went out.
Error Message
If “E1” “E2” or “E3” appears on the display, contact our Customer Service Department at 1-866-990-9785. These are
error codes and will need to be resolved before the control valve will function. These codes indicate that the control
valve did not function properly.
USER DISPLAYS
General Operation
When the system is operating, one of two displays will be shown. Pressing UP or DOWN button will alternate between
the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day (to the nearest hour). The second display is the
days remaining until the next regeneration. If the days remaining is equal to one, a regeneration will occur at the next
preset regeneration time. The user can scroll between displays as desired.
If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the preset time of regeneration, the arrow will point to
Regen.
Regeneration Mode
Typically a Backwash Filtration System is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. Your CBF Series Residential
Backwash Filtration System is factory preset to regenerate at 12:00 AM. If there is a demand for water during the
regeneration period, untreated water will be used.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to indicate the cycle of the regeneration process that
is occurring and an arrow will also point to REGEN. The system will run through the steps automatically and will reset
itself to provide treated water when the regeneration is completed.
