The efficiency rating is valid only at the minimum salt dose and rated service flow. The softener has a demand initiated regeneration (D.I.R.) feature that complies with specific performance specifications intended to minimize the amount of regenerant brine and water used in its operation. This softener has a rated softener efficiency of not less than 3,350 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on sodium chloride) and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating or be operated at a sustained maximum service flow rate greater than its listed rating. This softener has been proven to deliver soft water for at least ten continuous minutes at the rated service flow rate. The rated salt efficiency is measured by laboratory tests described in NSF/ANSI Standard 44. These tests represent the maximum possible efficiency that the system can achieve. Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency after the system has been installed. It is typically less than the rated efficiency, due to individual application factors including water hardness, water usage, and other contaminants that reduce a softener's capacity.

In the state of Massachusetts: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts plumbing code 248-CMR shall be adhered to. A licensed plumber shall be used for this installation. In the state of California: You must turn the Salt Efficiency Feature setting to ON. This may initiate more frequent recharges. However, it will operate at 4,000 grains per pound of salt or higher. To turn on the Salt Efficiency Feature, follow the instructions in the “Salt Efficiency” section of this manual. Before You Start = The water softener requires a minimum water flow of 3 gallons per minute at the inlet. Maximum allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime pressure may exceed the maximum. Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary (Adding a pressure reducing valve may reduce the flow). If your home is equipped with a back flow preventer, an expansion tank must be installed in accordance with local codes and laws. = The water softener works on 24V DC electrical power, supplied by a direct plug-in power supply (included). Be sure to use the included power supply and plug it into a nominal 120V, 60 Hz household outlet that is in a dry location only, grounded and properly protected by an overcurrent device such as a circuit breaker or fuse. = Do not use this system to treat water that is microbiologically unsafe or of unknown quality without adequate disinfection upstream or downstream of the system. European Directive 2002/96/EC requires all electrical and electronic equipment to be disposed of according to Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) requirements. This directive or similar laws are in place nationally and can vary from region to region. Please refer to your state and local laws for proper disposal of this equipment. Do not return the water softener to store. If you have any questions, or there are missing parts or damage, please call Toll Free 1-866-986-3223 or visit www.whirlpoolwatersolutions.com When you call, please be prepared to provide the model and serial number, found on the rating decal, located on the back of the controller’s top cover. 4 Inspect Shipment The parts required to assemble and install the water softener are included with the unit. Thoroughly check the water softener for possible shipping damage and parts loss. Also inspect and note any damage to the shipping carton. Remove and discard (or recycle) all packing materials. To avoid loss of small parts, we suggest you keep the small parts in the parts bag until you are ready to use them. Packing List Bypass Valve Hose Clamps IRON Drain Hose Adaptor Elbow Grommet O-rings Water Conditioning Information FIG. 2 immediately when drawn from a faucet because it has oxidized before reaching the home. It appears as small cloudy yellow, orange, or reddish suspended particles. After the water stands for a period of time, the particles settle to the bottom of the container. Generally these irons are removed from water by filtration. Chlorination is also recommended for bacterial iron. Iron in water can cause stains on clothing and plumbing fixtures. It can negatively affect the taste of food, drinking water, and other beverages. Iron in water is measured in parts per million (ppm). The total* ppm of iron, and type or types*, is determined by chemical analysis. Four different types of iron in water are: = = = = Installation Adaptors Clips Ferrous (clear water) iron Ferric (red water) iron Bacterial and organically bound iron Colloidal and inorganically bound iron (ferrous or ferric) Colloidal and inorganically bound iron is of ferric or ferrous form that will not filter or exchange out of water. This water softener will not remove colloidal iron. In some instances, treatment may improve colloidal iron water. Colloidal iron water usually has a yellow appearance when drawn. After standing for several hours, the color persists and the iron does not settle, but remains suspended in the water. Ferrous (clear water) iron is soluble and dissolves in water. This water softener will reduce moderate amounts of this type of iron (see specifications).** Ferrous (clear water) iron is usually detected by taking a sample of water in a clear bottle or glass. Immediately after taking, the sample is clear. As the water sample stands, it gradually clouds and turns slightly yellow or brown as air oxidizes the iron. This usually occurs in 15 to 30 minutes. SEDIMENT Sediment is fine, foreign material particles suspended in water. This water softener will not remove sediment. This material is most often clay or silt. Extreme amounts of sediment may give the water a cloudy appearance. A sediment filter installed upstream of the water softener normally corrects this situation. When using the softener to reduce Ferrous (clear water) iron, add 5 grains to the hardness setting for every 1 ppm of Ferrous (clear water) iron. See "Set Water Hardness Number" section. * Water may contain one or more of the four types of iron and any combination of these. Total iron is the sum of the contents. Ferric (red water), and bacterial and organically bound irons are insoluble. This water softener will not remove ferric or bacterial iron. This iron is visible ** Capacity to reduce clear water iron is substantiated by laboratory test data. 5 Installation Requirements LOCATION REQUIREMENTS PLUMBING CODES Consider all of the following when selecting an installation location for the water softener. All plumbing must be completed in accordance with national, state and local plumbing codes. = Do not locate the water softener where freezing temperatures occur. Do not attempt to treat water over 120ºF. Freezing temperatures or hot water damage voids the warranty. In the state of Massachusetts: The Commonwealth of Massachusetts plumbing code 248-CMR shall be adhered to. A licensed plumber shall be used for this installation. = To condition all water in the home, install the water softener close to the water supply inlet, and upstream of all other plumbing connections, except outside water pipes. Outside faucets should remain on hard water to avoid wasting conditioned water and salt. AIR GAP REQUIREMENTS A drain is needed for regeneration water (See Figure 3). A floor drain, close to the water softener, is preferred. A laundry tub, standpipe, etc. are other drain options. Secure valve drain hose in place. Leave an air gap of 1-1/2” between the end of the hose and the drain. This gap is needed to prevent backflow of sewer water into the water softener. Do not put the end of the drain hose into the drain. = A nearby drain is needed to carry away regeneration discharge (drain) water. Use a floor drain, laundry tub, sump, standpipe, or other options (check your local codes). See "Air Gap Requirements" and "Valve Drain Requirements" sections. = The water softener works on 24V DC electrical power, supplied by a direct plug-in power supply (included). Provide nearby a 120V, 60 Hz electrical outlet in accordance with NEC and local codes. Drain Hose 1-1/2” air gap = Always install the water softener between the water inlet and water heater. Any other installed water conditioning equipment should be installed between the water inlet and water softener (See Figure 4 below). = Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun heat may cause distortion or other damage to nonmetallic parts.

Close the main water supply valve, located near the well pump or water meter. IMPORTANT: Do not place shims directly under the salt storage tank to level the softener. The weight of the tank, when full of water and salt, may cause the tank to fracture at the shim. 2. Open all faucets to drain all water from house pipes. NOTE: Be sure not to drain water from the water heater, as damage to the water heater elements could result. 2. Visually check and remove any debris from the water softener valve inlet and outlet ports. MOVE THE WATER SOFTENER INTO PLACE 3. Make sure the turbine assembly spins freely in the "out" port of the valve. 4. If not already done, put a light coating of silicone grease on the single bypass valve o-rings. Excessive Weight Hazard 5. Push the single bypass valve into the softener valve as far as it will go. Snap the two large holding clips into place, from the top down as shown in Figures 11 & 12. Use two or more people to move and install water softener. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. IMPORTANT: Be sure the clips snap firmly into place so the single bypass valve will not pull out. 8 Installation Instructions GROUNDING INFORMATION (for Installations on Metal Pipe) The house main incoming water pipe is often used to ground electrical outlets in the home. Grounding protects you from electrical shock. Installing the water softener with a plastic bypass valve will break this ground. Before beginning installation, purchase and securely install two grounding clamps and a #4 copper wire across the location where the softener will be, tightly clamping it at both ends, as shown in Figure 10. Electrical Shock Hazard Prior to installation on metallic plumbing, securely install two grounding clamps and a #4 copper wire per installation instructions. Failure to follow these instructions can result in death or electrical shock. NOTE: Check local plumbing and electrical codes for proper installation of the ground wire. The installation must conform to them. In Massachusetts, plumbing codes of Massachusetts shall be conformed to. Consult with your licensed plumber. Ground Wire (not included) Clamp (2 - not included) FIG. 10 Clip Channel Single Bypass Valve FIG. 11 Clip CORRECT ASSEMBLY Outside diameter of water softener valve inlet & outlet Outside diameter of clip channel on single bypass valve FIG. 12 NOTE: Be sure all 3 tabs of the clip go through the matching holes on the water softener valve inlet or outlet, and fully into the channel on the single bypass valve. Make sure that the tabs are fully seated. Secure the unit with its inlet/outlet plumbing connections to a wall or other rigid surface to prevent tipping. 9 FIG. 13 Installation Instructions COMPLETE INLET AND OUTLET PLUMBING CONNECT BRINE TUBING Measure, cut, and loosely assemble pipe and fittings from the main water pipe to the inlet and outlet ports of the water softener valve. Be sure to keep fittings fully together, and pipes squared and straight. Route the brine tubing out, through the largest hole in the salt storage tank sidewall. Connect the tubing to the nozzle/venturi housing, as shown in Figure 14, using a ferrule nut. Tighten the nut by hand. Then, using a wrench or pliers, tighten it a half turn more. NOTE: Inlet and outlet are marked on the water softener valve. Trace the water flow direction to be sure hard water is to inlet. INSTALL SALT STORAGE TANK OVERFLOW ELBOW AND HOSE Be sure hard water supply pipe goes to the water softener valve inlet side. 1. Install the brine tank overflow grommet and elbow in the 13/16” diameter hole in the salt storage tank sidewell. IMPORTANT: Be sure to fit, align and support all plumbing to prevent putting stress on the water softener valve inlet and outlet. Stress from misaligned or unsupported plumbing may cause damage to the valve. NOTE: The brine tank overflow elbow accepts either 1/2” or 3/8” I.D. hose. 2. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8" drain line (provided) to the salt storage tank overflow elbow and secure in place with a hose clamp. Complete the inlet and outlet plumbing for the type of pipe you will be using. Secure the unit with its inlet/outlet plumbing connections to a wall or other rigid surface to prevent tipping (See Figure 13 on the previous page). 3. Route the hose to the floor drain, or other suitable drain point no higher than the drain fitting on the salt storage tank (This is a gravity drain). If the tank overfills with water, the excess water flows to the drain point. Cut the drain line to the desired length and route it neatly out of the way. INSTALL VALVE DRAIN HOSE 1. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the 3/8" drain line (provided) to the water softener valve drain fitting. Use a hose clamp to hold the hose in place. IMPORTANT: For proper operation of the water softener, do not connect the water softener valve drain tubing to the salt storage tank overflow hose. NOTE: Make the valve drain line as short and direct as possible. IMPORTANT: If codes require a rigid drain line see “Valve Drain requirements" section. 2. Route the drain hose or copper tubing to the floor drain. Secure drain hose. This will prevent “whipping'' during regenerations. See “Air Gap Requirements" section. Nozzle/ Venturi Ferrule Nut Brine Valve Tubing Brinewell Grommet Drain Elbow Overflow Drain Hose To Floor Drain FIG. 14 10 TEST FOR LEAKS Installation Instructions ADD WATER AND SALT TO THE SALT STORAGE TANK To prevent air pressure in the water softener and plumbing system, complete the following steps in order: 1. Fully open two or more softened cold water faucets close to the water softener, located downstream from the water softener. Excessive Weight Hazard Use two or more people to move and lift salt bags. Failure to do so can result in back or other injury. 2. Place the bypass valve (single or 3 valve) into the "bypass" position. See Figures 7 & 8 on Page 7. 3. Slowly open the main water supply valve. Run water until there is a steady flow from the opened faucets, with no air bubbles. 1. Using a container, add about three gallons of clean water into the salt storage tank. 4. Place bypass valve(s) in "service" or soft water position as follows: 2. Add salt to the storage tank. Use nugget, pellet or coarse solar salts with less than 1% impurities. = Single bypass valve: Slowly move the valve stem toward "service," pausing several times to allow the water softener to fill with water. PLUG IN THE POWER SUPPLY = 3 valve bypass: Fully close the bypass valve and open the outlet valve. Slowly open the inlet valve, pausing several times to allow the water softener to fill with water. During installation, the water softener wiring may be moved or jostled from place. Be sure all leadwire connectors are secure on the back of the electronic board and be sure all wiring is away from the valve gear and motor area, which rotates during regenerations. 5. After about three minutes, open a hot water faucet until there is a steady flow and there are no air bubbles, then close this faucet. 1. Plug the power supply into an electrical outlet that is not controlled by a switch. 6. Close all cold water faucets and check for leaks at the plumbing connections that you made. NOTE: The water heater is filled with hard water and, as hot water is used, it will refill with conditioned water. In a few days, the hot water will be fully conditioned. To have fully conditioned hot water immediately, wait until the initial recharge is over. Then, drain the water heater (following instructions for water heater) until water runs cold. 7. Check for leaks around clips at softener’s inlet and outlet. If a leak occurs at a clip, depressurize the plumbing (turn off the water supply and open faucets) before removing clip. When removing clips at the softener’s inlet or outlet, push the single bypass valve body toward the softener (See Figure 15). Improper removal may damage clips. Do not reinstall damaged clips. SANITIZE THE WATER SOFTENER / SANITIZE AFTER SERVICE 1. Open salt lid, remove the brinewell cover and pour about 3 oz. (6 tablespoons) of household bleach into the softener brinewell. Replace the brinewell cover. If removing clips... 2 Make sure the bypass valve(s) is in the “service” (open) position. 3 Start a recharge (regeneration). See “Start a Recharge” on Page 13. ...depressurize the plumbing, then push Bypass Valve body toward softener 4. After the recharge has completed, fully open a cold water faucet, downstream from the softener, and allow 50 gallons of water to pass through the system. This should take at least 20 minutes. Close the faucet.

START A RECHARGE 1. Press and hold the RECHARGE button until the words “RECHARGE NOW" flash in the display. FIG. 19 1. Press the RECHARGE button and hold for three seconds, until “RECHARGE” begins to flash in the display, starting a recharge. This recharge draws the sanitizing bleach 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. RECHARGE NOW initiated FIG. 20 The softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration right away. “RECHARGE NOW” will flash during the regeneration. When completed, full water conditioning capacity is restored. NOTE: As with all other water system applications, leaks may occur. Leaks may not be immediately apparent. Recheck for leaks 24 hours after first recharge cycle is complete. NOTE: Avoid using hot water while the softener is regenerating, because the water heater will refill with bypass hard water. POWER OUTAGE MEMORY If electrical power to the water softener is lost, “memory'' built into the timer circuitry will keep all settings for several hours. While the power is out, the display is blank and the water softener will not regenerate. When electrical power is restored, the following will occur: RECHARGE TONIGHT If you do not want to start an immediate recharge, but would like to schedule an extra recharge at the next preset recharge time, do the following: 1. Press and release (do not hold) the RECHARGE button. Reset the present time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless a change is desired. Even if the clock is incorrect after a long power outage, the softener operates as it should to keep your water soft. However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the clock to the correct time of day. NOTE: If the water softener was regenerating when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle. RECHARGE TONIGHT initiated FIG. 21 The words “RECHARGE TONIGHT" flash in the display, and the softener will recharge at the next recharge time. The words “RECHARGE NOW" will flash during the regeneration. When completed, full water conditioning capacity is restored. 13 Customizing Features / Options DATA DISPLAYS SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME With repeated presses of the DATA button, you can obtain operational information about your water softener. 1. Press the PROGRAM button and hold for three seconds, until a flashing “2:00AM” and the words “RECHARGE TIME” are displayed. This is a good time for the recharge to start in most households, because water is not in use. Capacity (remaining) This is the percentage of water softening capacity remaining. Immediately after a regeneration, 100% shows. Then, as water is used, the percentage decreases until the next regeneration. During regenerations, the percenFIG. 22 tage increments upward. NOTE: Zero (0%) shows until after the first regeneration begins, after connecting to electrical power. FIG. 26 2. If you want to change the recharge start time, press the r UP or s DOWN buttons until the desired time shows. Be sure AM or PM is correct. Flow Rate, GPM* When using soft water, this display shows the gallons per minute flow rate passing through the softener. Zero shows if water is not in use. Gallons* Today 3. Press the PROGRAM button four times to return to the normal run display (See Fig. 19). MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATIONS The water softener automatically controls regeneration frequency. This provides the greatest operating efficiency and, under most conditions, this feature should be left in this automatic mode. However, you may modify this feature if you want to force a regeneration every set number of days. For example, if your water supply contains clear water iron, you may want the softener to regenerate every few days to keep the resin bed clean. The maximum days between recharges may be set from 1 to 15 days, as follows: FIG. 23 Each day, beginning at midnight, the timer keeps a running count of the total gallons of water passing through the softener. Average Daily Gallons* The figure displayed is the average gallons of water used by the household each day, over the past seven day period. NOTE: The softener will recharge on its own if needed, even if it is before the set number of days. FIG. 24 1. Press the PROGRAM button and hold for three seconds, until the “Recharge Time” screen (Figure 26) is displayed. 2. Once in this display, press the PROGRAM button again and the display in Figure 27 is shown. FIG. 25 *If preferred, you can set the timer to show the reading in liters instead of gallons. If gallons today, or average daily gallons exceeds 1999, a (x 10) indicator appears.

FIG. 33 Routine Maintenance WATER SOFTENER CLEANSER The manufacturer recommends that you use Whirlpool® WHE-WSC Water Softener Cleanser, as directed, every four months. until “RECHARGE” begins to flash in the display. This manual recharge will take about two hours. If taste, odor, or discoloration are detected in the water, manually recharge the softener again, then run a cold water faucet immediately downstream of the softener until water tastes, smells and appears normal. Lift the brinewell cover and pour in the entire 16 oz. bottle of Whirlpool® Water Softener Cleanser. Press the RECHARGE button and hold for three seconds, 16 ADDING SALT Routine Maintenance CLEANING THE NOZZLE & VENTURI Lift the salt lid and check the salt storage level frequently. If the water softener uses all the salt before you refill it, you will experience hard water. Until you have established a refilling routine, check the salt every two or three weeks. Always add if less than 1/4 full. Be sure the brinewell cover is on. NOTE: If using potassium chloride (KCl), do not fill the tank more than halfway. NOTE: In humid areas, it is best to keep the salt storage level lower, and to refill more often to avoid salt “bridging”. Recommended Salt: Nugget, pellet or coarse solar salts with less than 1% impurities. Salt Not Recommended: Rock salt, high in impurities, block, granulated, table, ice melting, ice cream making salts, etc. A clean nozzle & venturi (See Figure 36) is a necessity for the water softener to work properly. This small component creates the suction to move brine from the brine tank, into the resin tank. If it should become plugged with sand, silt, dirt, etc., the water softener will not work, and hard water will result. Sometimes, a hard crust or salt “bridge” forms in the brine tank. It is usually caused by high humidity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt “bridges,” an empty space forms between the water and the salt. Then, salt will not dissolve in the water to make brine. Without brine, the resin bed is not recharged and hard water will result. If the storage tank is full of salt, it is difficult to tell if you have a salt bridge. A bridge may be underneath loose salt. Take a broom handle, or like tool, and hold it next to the water softener. Measure the distance from the floor to the rim of the water softener. Then, gently push the broom handle straight down into the salt. If a hard object is felt before the pencil mark is even with the top, it is most likely a salt bridge. Gently push into the bridge in several places to break it. Do not use any sharp or pointed objects as you may puncture the brine tank. Do not try to break the salt bridge by pounding on the outside of the salt tank. You may damage the tank. *Install with lettered side up, concave side down. Cap O-ring Seal Screen Support Screen Nozzle & Venturi Disc Gasket *Flow Plug (HVDC) Ferrule Nut IMPORTANT: Be sure small hole in the gasket is centered directly over the small hole in the nozzle & venturi housing. Be sure the numbers are facing up FIG. 36 To get access to the nozzle & venturi, remove the water softener’s top cover. Put the bypass valve(s) into the bypass position. Be sure the water softener is in soft water (service) cycle (no water pressure at nozzle & venturi). Then, holding the nozzle & venturi housing with one hand, unscrew the cap. Do not lose the o-ring seal. Lift out the screen support and screen. Then, remove the nozzle & venturi disc, gasket and flow plug(s). Wash the parts in warm, soapy water and rinse in fresh water. Be sure to clean both the top and bottom of the nozzle & venturi disc. If needed, use a small brush to remove iron or dirt. Do not scratch, misshape, etc., surfaces of the nozzle & venturi. Gently replace all parts in the correct order. Lubricate the o-ring seal with silicone grease and locate in place. Install and tighten the cap by hand, while supporting the housing. Overtightening may break the cap or housing. Put the bypass valve(s) into service (soft water) position. Recharge the softener to reduce water level in the tank. This will also assure that the softener is completely recharged and ready to provide softened water again. Check the water level in the tank by looking down the brinewell. If the water level does not drop after a recharge, the problem has not been resolved. Call 1-866-986-3223.

The water softener monitors electronic components and circuits for correct operation. If a malfunction occurs, an error code appears in the display. Switch is closed (Cam rotating) FIG. 37 Valve Position Turbine Count Minutes of Cycle Remaining Switch is open (Cam not rotating) FIG. 38 2. The 3 digits under WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEM indicate water meter operation as follows: While an error code appears in the display, all buttons are inoperable except the PROGRAM button. PROGRAM remains operational so the service person can perform the Manual Advance Diagnostics, see below, to further isolate the problem. 000 (steady) = Soft water not in use, and no flow through the meter. Open a nearby soft water faucet. 000 to 140 (continual) = Repeats for each gallon of water passing through the meter. Procedure for removing error code from display: 1. Unplug power supply from electrical outlet. 3. Symbols in the display indicate POSITION switch operation (See Figure 38). 2. Correct problem. 3. Plug power supply back in. 4. Use the RECHARGE button to manually advance the valve into each cycle and check correct switch operation. 4. Wait 8 minutes. The error code will return if the problem was not corrected. NOTE: Be sure water is in contact with the salt, and not separated by a salt bridge (See "Breaking A Salt Bridge" section). MANUAL ADVANCE DIAGNOSTICS Use the following procedures to advance the water softener through the regeneration cycles to check operation. 5. Press the DATA button again. The following information is available and may be beneficial for various reasons. This information is retained by the computer from the first time electrical power is applied to the face plate. Lift off the salt lid, remove the top cover by unlocking the tabs in the back and rocking forward, to observe cam and switch operation during valve rotation. a. The top half of the display shows the total number of recharges since the timer was connected to electrical power. 1. Press and hold the DATA button for 3 seconds until one of the two displays in Figure 38 is shown, then release. The number in the top part of the display, after “dY”, is days since the last recharge. NOTE: If the softener is in the middle of a regeneration, the top part of the display shows the cycle of regeneration, and minutes of the cycle remaining. If two cycle names are flashing, the valve is in transition between the cycles. b. The bottom half of the display shows the number of days since FIG. 39 the timer was connected to electrical power. If over 1999 days, a (x 10) indicator shows, meaning you must multiply the number shown times 10. 6. Press DATA once again to return to the normal time of day screen. 18 Troubleshooting RESETTING TO FACTORY DEFAULTS 2. After observing fill, press the RECHARGE button to move the softener’s valve into the brine position. A slow flow of water to the drain will begin. Verify brine draw from the brine tank by shining a flashlight into the brinewell and observing a noticeable drop in the liquid level. This may take 15 to 20 minutes. To reset the electronic controller to its factory default for all settings (time, hardness, etc.): 1. Press the PROGRAM button and hold it until the display changes twice to show the flashing model code. NOTE: Be sure water is in contact with the salt, and not separated by a salt bridge (See "Breaking A Salt Bridge" section). 2. Press the r UP button (a few times, if necessary) to display a flashing “SoS”. If the water softener does not draw brine, check for (most likely to least likely): = Dirty or plugged nozzle and venturi, see "Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi" section. = Nozzle and venturi not seated on the gasket, or gasket deformed. = Valve seals leaking (See Troubleshooting). = Restriction in valve drain, causing a back-pressure (bends, kinks, elevated too high, etc.). See "Install Valve Drain Hose" section. FIG. 40 3. Press the PROGRAM button three times, and the electronic controller will restart. 4. Set the present time and hardness, as described on page 12. MANUAL ADVANCE REGENERATION CHECK This check verifies proper operation of the valve motor, brine tank fill, brine draw, regeneration flow rates, and other controller functions. Always make the initial checks, and the manual initiated diagnostics. = Obstruction in brine valve or brine tubing. NOTE: If water system pressure is low, a too-long or elevated drain hose may cause back pressure, stopping brine draw. Avoid drain hose runs longer than 30 feet. Avoid elevating the hose more than 8 feet above the floor. 3. Press the RECHARGE button to move the softener’s valve into the backwash position. Look for a fast flow of water from the drain hose. Check that the drain can adequately handle the flow and volume. An obstructed flow indicates a plugged top distributor, backwash flow plug, or drain hose. NOTE: The electronic control display must show a steady time (not flashing). If an error code shows, first press the PROGRAM button to enter the diagnostic display. 4. Press the RECHARGE button to move the softener’s valve into the fast rinse position. Again look for a fast drain flow. Allow the softener to rinse for a few minutes to flush out any brine that may remain in the resin tank from the brining cycle test. 1. Press the RECHARGE button and hold in for 3 seconds. RECHARGE begins to flash as the softener’s valve advances from the service to fill position. Remove the brinewell cover and, using a flashlight, observe fill water entering the tank. 5. To return the softener’s valve to the service position, press the RECHARGE button. If water does not enter the tank, look for an obstructed nozzle, venturi, fill flow plug, brine tubing, or brine valve riser pipe. Need help troubleshooting?
