What To Do
• Avoid using hot water during water softening system
regenerations because the water heater will refill with
hard water. See Automatic Hard Water Bypass During
Regeneration section.
• See Regeneration Chart for correct setting.
• Water hardness can change over time, especially in well water.
To check, have the water tested by a water analysis laboratory
or call your local water department. Adjust the timer
settings as needed. See Regeneration Chart.
• This is normal.
•See the Operating Instructions, Tips section.
•See the Operating Instructions, Tips section.
•Have the water tested at once.
WARNING: Do not drink the water until problem has
been corrected.
•Check the circuit breaker or fuses.
•Call for service.
•This is called etching and is permanent. To prevent this
from happening, use less detergent if you have soft water.
Wash glassware in the shortest cycle that will get them clean.
•Press and hold TOUCH or HOLD button until RECHARGE
starts to flash to start a regeneration.
•At completion of regeneration cycle (approx. 2 hrs), run
water from faucets to purge the salty water.
•Check pressure; should be minimum 20 psi.
•Clean and reconnect hose.
