Water Softener Features
Battery Back-Up (Uses a standard 9-volt alkaline battery.)
During power failures, the battery will maintain the time of day as long as the battery has power. The display is turned off to conserve battery power during this time. To confirm that the battery is working, press either button and the display will turn on for five (5) seconds.
If power failure occurs while the system is regenerating, the control valve will motor to a shut off position to prevent constant flow to drain. Depending upon the system pressure and other factors, it is possible to observe a reduced flow to drain during this step. After power is restored, the control valve will return and finish the cycle where it left off prior to the power interruption.
When used without battery back-up, during a power failure, the unit stops at its current point in the regeneration position and then restarts at that point when the power is restored. The time will be offset by the increment of time the unit was without power so it is necessary to reset the time of day on the unit. No other system will be affected.
WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THE BATTERY BACKUP UNTIL THE SYSTEM HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED AND START UP IS COMPLETE!
