DAYS TO EMPTY
The words DAYS TO EMPTY and a number
are shown in the lower half of the display. This
information is shown in the normal run display.
This is to inform the user of the number of
days before the salt level in the brine tank
reaches Level 0. There will be salt left in the
salt tank, but it may not be sufficient to fully
recharge the system. Salt should be added
at this time to avoid hard water. The value is
updated daily and whenever the SALT LEVEL
value is changed.
NOTE: For the first several weeks of operation,
the DAYS TO EMPTY may provide erratic
operation. For example, the blue indicator light
may flash, showing that more salt is required
when the actual salt level in the tank is well
above the Level 0. In some cases, the DAYS
TO EMPTY may even increase over a several
week period.
It takes a couple of months for the water
softener to learn your water usage pattern.
Once it does this, it will accurately determine
actual salt usage pattern. During this first
period, check salt level when blue indicator
light flashes. If the salt level in the tank is at
Level 1 or above, allow system to run. Be sure
to reset your salt level indicator each time you
add salt to the system.
START A RECHARGE
Press the RECHARGE button and hold for
three seconds, until "RECHARGE NOW"
begins to flash in the display, starting a
recharge. This recharge draws the sanitizing
bleach or brine into and through the water
softener. Any air remaining in the water
softener is purged to the drain. During this time
periodically check for leaks.
NOTE: As with all other water system
applications, leaks may occur. Leaks may not
be immediately apparent. Recheck 24 hours
after first recharge cycle is complete.
