INITIATING EXTRA RECHARGES
RECHARGE NOW: Press the Recharge keypad to go to the recharge menu. Move square cursor down to
Start Recharge Now. Press SELECT/EXIT keypad and a recharge begins immediately.
To assure an adequate supply of conditioned water, at times of unusual or unexpected high water use de-
mand, use the RECHARGE NOW feature. For example, if you have guests and the Soft Water Available
screen is at or below 50%, you could deplete conditioned water capacity before the next recharge is automati-
cally initiated. To be sure this will not happen, use RECHARGE NOW to restore 100% conditioned water ca-
pacity.
RECHARGE TONIGHT: Press the Recharge keypad to go to the recharge menu. Move cursor down to Set/
Cancel Recharge Tonight. Press SELECT/EXIT keypad to return to Normal Screen Views. When this feature
is set, the EcoWater Systems conditioner will regenerate at the next programmed start time. This feature is
beneficial to assure a sufficient supply of conditioned water for expected heavy water usage the next day.
To cancel a recharge when RECHARGE TONIGHT is shown, press the Recharge keypad to go to the re-
charge menu. Move cursor down to Set/Cancel Recharge Tonight. Press SELECT/EXIT keypad to return to
Normal Screen Views.

The following is a description of the options in the Primary Menu. To enter this menu press SELECT/EXIT
( ↵ ) keypad and move square cursor (J) to menu choice. To exit to Normal Screen Views move square cursor

will show for 4 minutes before returning back to the Normal Screen Views.

is next to Set Clock. Again, use the (↑) or (↓) keypads to set the present time
of day, being sure AM or PM shows, as applicable. Press (↑) to move the
display ahead; press (↓) to move the time backward. NOTE: Each press of
a keypad changes the time by 1 minute. Holding a keypad in changes the
time by 32 minutes each second. Press the SELECT/EXIT ( ↵ ) keypad to
set.
Set Water Hardness
:
Enter Primary Menu. Press the (↑) or (↓) keypads un-
til cursor is next to Set Hardness. Press the SELECT/EXIT ( ↵ ) keypad
once to display a flashing number and GRAINS. Set the grains per gallon

use the (↓) keypad to reduce the number. Pressing the SELECT/EXIT (↵)
keypad will set the hardness level. NOTE: If using potassium chloride (KCl)
instead of standard sodium chloride (NaCl) water softener salt, hardness
setting must be increased by 25%.
Set Recharge (Regeneration) Time: Enter Primary Menu. Press the (↑)
or (↓) keypads until cursor is next to Set Recharge Time. Press the SE-
LECT/EXIT ( ↵ ) keypad once to display a flashing 2:00 AM. At this setting,
the EcoWater Systems conditioner begins recharge, or regeneration, at
2:00 AM., ending no later than 5:30 AM. This is a good time in most house-
holds because water is not being used. If hot water is used while the unit
is regenerating, the water heater will refill with hard water. To select a differ-
ent recharge start time, use the (↑) or (↓) keypad. Pressing the SELECT/
EXIT (↵) keypad will set the recharge time.
