Understanding the Controller
Demand Mode
The controller is now in Demand Mode which means you will not have to worry about
vacation settings or extra guests because the controller measures water usage and
regenerates based on need. The appliance will regenerate using only the necessary
amount of water and salt. If your power has been off, the appliance will retain
programmed settings indefinitely.
Note: You should not need to change from Demand Mode.
Soft Water Remaining
After setting water hardness, the display shows the gallons (or litres) of soft water
remaining until the next automatic regeneration. Typically, each person in the household
uses about 75 gallons (284 L) per day. Water remaining is in gallons in hundreds
(or litres in thousands), for example 88 = 8,800 gallons (33 = 33,000 litres).
Recharge/Regeneration Status
Regeneration cycle numbers are shown during regeneration. The read-out will flash with the cycle number. The
flashing regeneration numbers are:
First cycle (01) First Backwash
Second and Third cycles (02) Brine/Slow Rinse
Fourth cycle (03) Second Backwash
Fifth cycle (04) Brine Refill
Sixth cycle (HO) Service
To quickly advance through the regeneration cycles, press and hold the REGENERATE button for 2 to 5 seconds
until the cycle begins. After 20 seconds press and hold the REGENERATE button until the cycle number changes
(about 2 seconds). Each cycle can be advanced in this manner.

Regenerate Button
To start an immediate regeneration, press the REGENERATE button and hold for 2 to 5 seconds. The
REGENERATE button is used when starting your water conditioner, to start an immediate regeneration, or to restore
capacity if you run out of salt.
Out of Salt
Should your appliance run out of salt, you may not have soft water available.
A. Open the salt lid and add salt.
B. Wait two hours, then press the REGENERATE button and hold for 2 to 5 seconds.
