After initial setup the master programming should not need to be used again unless a system
reset is performed. Even in the event of a power outage all settings are retained. If your water
use or water quality changes you can use the user programming to make common changes to
the programming as lined out below.

1. DIGITAL Controller - Resets
If your controller is showing odd behavior such as erratic display, no display, or showing an
error code, the first step is to try and reset it. Start with the soft reset, and if that does not
solve the problem move on to the master reset. If the problem persists contact one of our
technicians.

Soft
Reset
Hold Extra Cycle and
Down buttons for 25
seconds
This will reset all parameters to the system default values, but leaves the days since the last
backwash intact. This is a good place to start if you feel you may have changed a default setting.
After resetting proceed through the master programming section.
Hard
Reset
Hold Extra Cycle button
while plugging the unit
in
This will reset all parameters in the system. This is typically reserved for erratic behavior that a
soft reset does not resolve. After resetting proceed through the master programming section.

MECHANICAL CONTROLLER - Frequency
To set the backwash frequency, there is a ring of day tabs numbered 1 - 12 on the system.
Each tab can be either inward towards the middle of the ring (inactive) or outward away from
the middle of the ring (active). To set up your system, simply slide the tabs out on the days you
want it to backwash. For example, to backwash every 3 days (the minimum requirement for
most backwashing systems) simply slide the tabs numbered 3, 6, 9, & 12 to their outward
active position. Depending upon your water usage and contaminate level, you may need to
backwash more frequently. To backwash every 2 days (every other day) slide the tabs
