That is equivalent to eating 2-1/2 slices of white bread. Persons who are concerned about their drinking water should consider a Sears Drinking Water System that will remove or reduce in excess of 90% of the sodium and other drinking water contaminants. You have now finished the water softener start up. After the sanitizing recharge, on page 7, the softener will be giving you soft water. 8 SECTION 2 HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS 2A. FACE PLATE TIMER FEATURES RECHARGE NOW — 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 2, you would get hard water until then. If this happens, or you think it might happen, press and hold in the HOLD-RECHARGE NOW button [5| for 3 seconds until RCHG shows. RCHG will flash in the display during the regeneration, which lasts under 2 hours. NOTE: Avoid using HOT water while the softener regenerates, because bypass hard water will refill the water heater (see “Automatic Bypass,” page 13). VACATION — The day you leave on vacation, or other long absence, press (DO NOT HOLD IN) the ON/OFF VACATION button O. VAC begins to flash in the display (FIG. 6). The timer will keep time, but the softener will not regenerate to waste water and salt. NOTE: Whie in VACATION, the softener will go through a regeneration if the RECHARGE NOW feature is used (see above). To shut off the water supply to the softener, use the plumbing bypass valve(s), FIG. 16, page 21. 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, please call you local Sears Service Department for service. FIG. 5 □ PRESENT TIME AND DAY RECHARGE TIME RECHARGE DAY □ SET / CLEAR ON / OFF VACATION HOLD RECHARGE NOW WHEN YOU RETURN, press the VACATION, button again to return the softener to service, and the correct time of day in the display. Remember to do this or the softener will not regenerate and you will soon have hard water.

FACE PLATE TIMER FEATURES TIMER “POWER-OUTAGE MEMORY” — If electrical power to the timer goes off, the “memory” built into timer circuitry keeps all settings for 6 hours (minimum) or more. The display is blank and the softener will not regenerate. When electrical power comes on, 1 of 2 things will happen. 1. The present time of day will show, meaning the timer memory has kept all settings. NOTE: If the softener was in a regeneration when power was lost, it will now finish the cycle. 2. The display will show a time, but it will be flashing. The timer memory did not keep the time settings and they must be reset (page 6). The flashing display is to remind you to reset the timer. NOTE: When 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 3 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 power went off, the valve will return to service position without finishing the regeneration cycle. If your water tastes salty: — use RECHARGE NOW (see page 9) to start another regeneration, or — open 1 or more soft water faucets and allow to run until the salt taste is gone. 10 SECTION 2 HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS -1 2B. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION SERVICE When the softener is giving you soft water, it is called “Service”. During service, hard water comes from the house main water pipe into the softener. Inside the softener resin tank is a bed made up of thousands of tiny, plastic resin beads (FIG. 7). As hard water passes through the bed, each bead attracts and holds the hardness minerals. This is called ion-exchanging. It is much like a magnet attracting and holding metals. Water without the hardness minerals (soft water) flows out of the softener and into the house soft water pipes. After a period of time, the resin beads become coated with hardness minerals and they have to be cleaned. This cleaning is called recharge, or regeneration. Regeneration is started at about 2:00 a.m. (factory setting) by the timer. It takes place in 5 stages or cycles. These are: FILL BRINING BRINE RINSE BACKWASH FAST RINSE FIG. 7 WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER IN SERVICE Hard Water IN REGENERATION □ FILL: Salt, dissolved in water, is called brine. Brine is needed to clean the hardness minerals from the resin beads. To make the brine, soft water flows into the salt storage area during the fill cycle as shown in FIG. 8. The length of the fill cycle is factory set to provide softening capacity for an average f...
