Control Operation During a Power Failure During a power failure, all control displays and programming will be stored for use upon power re-application. The control will retain these values for years, if necessary, without loss. The control will be fully inoperative and any calls for regeneration will be delayed. The control will, upon power re-application, resume normal operation from the point where it was interrupted.
Installation Instructions Figure 3 4. Attach the bypass valve to the control valve. Connect the inlet and outlet of the water softener to the plumbing in the house. The control valve must not be submitted to temperatures above 71°C (110°F). When sweat fittings are used, to avoid damaging the control valve, solder the threaded copper adapters to the copper pipe and then, using Teflon tape, screw the assembly into the bypass valve.

Manual Regeneration Cycle If you run out of softened water because of inadequate regeneration frequency, inadequate reserve capacity, power failure or unusually high water usage, you can initiate a manual regeneration simply by pressing the extra cycle button. The softener will now automatically complete a regeneration cycle and return to service. If possible, avoid water use during the regeneration cycle.
Bridging (Figure 6) Humidity or the wrong type of salt may create a cavity between the water and the salt. This action, known as “bridging”, prevents the brine solution from being made, leading to your water supply being hard. Figure 6 Bridging If you suspect salt bridging, carefully pound on the outside of the plastic brine tank or pour some warm water over the salt to break up the bridge.
