6. Backwash forces water through the media to the drain.
Inspect the water for air bubbles and small particles. When
the water is running clear, advance to the next cycle.
7. Brine draw and slow rinse run at the same time. The
discharge to drain will slow down. The water in the salt tank
will lower. If water is leaving the salt tank, advance to the
next cycle.
8. The repressurize cycle is short and allows internal system
pressures to stabilize. After 1-2 minutes advance to the
next cycle.
9. Fast rinse is a full pressure rinse of the media in the tank.
The discharge to drain should be high. Advance to the next
cycle.
10. Backwash 2 is a second backwashing of the media tank.
Discharge to drain will be slow. Advance to the next cycle.
11. Fast rinse 2 is the last cycle in the recharge process. Flow
to drain will be high. This cycle is 1 min long. Allow this
cycle to complete and advance to Service.
The controller will start the fi rst time with a recharge scheduled
to start at the normal time of recharge. The media in the tank
will function properly until that fi rst recharge.
Fill the salt tank with softener salt. The display should be
showing the current time of day and the colon will be fl ashing.
Automatic Recharge
The control uses an internal water meter that counts the
gallons used. When the recharge setpoint (gallons of water
treated) is reached, the unit will recharge. The setpoint
depends on the capacity setting used (HE, Sd or HE) and
the hardness of the water. See Performance Data for rated
capacities and system performance.
The system is fully operational.
During normal operation (Service mode) the display will
show the current time of day with the colon blinking. This will
alternate with a display of the capacity remaining.

Things You Might Need to Know
• When the controller is fi rst plugged in, it may display a
fl ashing hourglass and the message Err 3, this means
that the controller is rotating the camshaft to the home
position.
• The preset default time of recharge is 12:00 am.
• The 706 Series controller is programmed to recharge if
a recharge has not taken place in the last 15 days. This
setting cannot be changed.
• Make sure control power source is plugged in. The
transformer should be connected to a non-switched
power source.
• Unless changed, the settings for a newly installed system
are:
Hardness - 25 grains per gallon
Salt Setting - HE (High Effi ciency)
Water Used Settings - 0 gallons
Internal System clock starts at 8:00 AM
Day of the week is Sunday
The fi rst recharge will occur when the system clock
reaches 12:00 am
Accessing History Values
The 706 control features a review level that displays the
operation history of the system. This is a great troubleshooting
tool for the control valve.
To access history values, press Recharge followed by the Salt
Amount button and hold for 3 seconds to view the Diagnostic
Codes.
NOTE: If a button is not pushed for 30 seconds the
controller will exit the history table.
Press the Time of Day button to increment through the table.
When the desired code is reached, Press the Salt Amount
button to display the value.
When the Salt Amount button is pressed to view H2 the current
fl ow rate will be displayed but not updated. Continue to press
and release the Salt Amount button every 5 seconds to update
the display. The fl ow icons on the display will fl ash when there
is fl ow through the softener.
