Water Softener - Flashing Control Display / Control Set Up

The control display should not be flashing. Rather, it should show the correct time of day. If it is not the case, you need to set up the control. Take a look at the instructions below to set-up the control on most model water softeners:

  1. Press Select pad until "present time" and "flashing time" are displayed.
  2. Press the + or - pads to select the correct time. Remember to note A.M. vs. P.M.
  3. Press Select pad again until "hardness" and "flashing hardness" numbers are in the display.
  4. Press + or - pads to select the correct hardness.
  5. Press Select pad again until the recharge time and flashing 2:00 am are in display.
  6. Press Select pad again. The correct time of the day should be in display. The softener is now in operation mode.
  7. Initiate the regeneration cycle. In order to do so, locate the touch-hold pad on the control. Press Pad and hold until "recharge now" flashes in the display. The unit will start regenerating. Allow approximately 2 hours to complete the recharging process. Allow a day or so for soft water to flush through water heater.

Note: 2:00 am is pre-set at the factory as the best time for most people. If you desire to change that time, press + or - pads to select the correct time.
