1. General Operation:
When the system is operating, one of the three displays
may be shown. Pressing next will alternate between
displays. One of the displays is always the current time of
day. The second display shows the current treated water
flow rate through the system in Gallons Per Minute (gpm).
The third display shows the current volume remaining in
Gallons. Capacity remaining is the gallons that will be
treated before the system goes through a regeneration
cycle.
The user can scroll between the displays as desired.
If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at
the preset time of regeneration, the words REGEN TODAY
will appear on the display.
The AFS has an installed water meter, the word “Softening”
flashes on the display when water is being treated (i.e. water is flowing though the system).
2. Regeneration Mode:
Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of no water use. If there is a
demand for water when the system is regenerating, untreated water will be
delivered. 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.
3. Manual Regeneration:
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate before the control valve calls for it. This may be needed if a
period of heavy water use is anticipated or when the system has been operated without salt.
 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 command.
 To initiate an immediate manual regeneration, press
and hold the regen button for three seconds. The
system will begin to regenerate immediately. This command cannot be cancelled.
4. Power Loss:
If the power goes out for less than two hours, the system will
automatically reset itself. If an extended power outage occurs, the time
of day will flash on and off which indicated the time of day should be
reset. The system will remember all other settings.
Error Message: If the word “ERROR” and a number are alternately
flashing on the display, record the number and contract the dealer for
help. This indicates that the control valve was not able to function properly.
