Recharging
If you have guests visiting, or other times
when you use more water than usual, you
could begin to run out of soft water. If the
softener is not scheduled to regenerate for
another day or two, you would get hard
water until then. If this happens, or you
think it might happen, press and hold in the
TOUCH HOLD button for three seconds until
RCHG shows. RCHG will flash in the display
during the regeneration, which lasts under
2 hours.
Going on Vacation?
The day you leave on vacation, or for a long
absence, press (do not hold) the TOUCH HOLD
button. VAC begins to flash in the display. The
timer will keep time, but the softener will not
regenerate.
NOTE: While on vacation, the softener will go
through a regeneration if the RECHARGE NOW
feature is used.
To shut off the water supply to the softener,
use the plumbing bypass valve.
Error Code
An error code could appear in the face plate display if a problem occurs in the softener electronics.
If you see an error code instead of the present time of day, see the Troubleshooting Tips section or
call the GE Answer Center 800.626.2000 for service.
What to Do When a Power Outage Occurs
If electrical power to the timer goes off,
the memory built into the timer circuitry
keeps all settings for six hours (minimum)
or more. The display is blank and softener
will not regenerate.
When electrical power comes on, one of two
things will happen.
The present time of day will show,
1
meaning the timer memory has kept
all settings.
NOTE: If the softener was in a regeneration
when the power was lost, it will now finish
the cycle.
OR
The display will show a flashing time.
2
The timer memory did not keep the
time settings and they must be reset. See
the Program the Timer section.
NOTE: Avoid using HOT water while the
softener regenerates, because bypass hard
water will refill the water heater. See the
Automatic Bypass section.
When you return, press the VACATION button
again to return the softener to service and also
return the softener to the correct time of day
in the display.
WARNING:
Remember to do this or the
softener will not regenerate and you will soon
have hard water.
NOTE: When the power comes on, the flashing
display returns to a time of 12:00 AM Sunday,
then begins to keep time again. If you do not
reset all time settings, the softener will
regenerate three days each week. However,
regeneration will most likely be on the wrong
days and at the wrong time.
If the softener was in a regeneration when
the power went off, the valve will return to
service position without finishing the
regeneration cycle.
If your water tastes salty:
– use RECHARGE NOW to start another
regeneration. See the Recharging section.
– open one or more soft water faucets and
allow to run until the salt taste is gone.
