Manual Bypass
The brine tank is equipped with a safety float which prevents your brine tank from overfill-
ing as a result of a malfunction such as a power failure.
Automatic Bypass
The regeneration cycle can last 30 to 80 minutes, after which soft water service will be re-
stored. During regeneration, hard water is automatically bypassed for use in the household.
Hot water should be used as little as possible during this time to prevent hard water from
filling the water heater. This is why automatic regeneration is set for sometime during the
night and manual regenerations should be performed when little or no water will be used in
the household.
Normal regeneration time is 2:00 AM. It can be changed by going into the PROGRAM menu
and selecting REGEN TIME.
Safety Float
In the case of emergency, such as an overflowing brine tank, you can isolate your water
softener from the water supply using the bypass valve located at the back of the control. In
normal operation the bypass is open with the on/off knobs in line with the inlet and outlet
pipes.
To isolate the softener, simply rotate the knobs clockwise (as indicated by the word BYPASS
and arrow) until they lock. You can use your water related fixtures and appliances as the
water supply is bypassing the softener. However, the water you use will be hard. To resume
soft water service, open bypass valve by rotating the knobs counterclockwise.
New Sounds
You may notice new sounds as your water softener operates. The regeneration cycle lasts
up to 80 minutes. During this time, you may hear water running intermittently to the drain.
