Displays & Programming Instructions
GENERAL OPERATION:
When the REIONATOR
®
is in operation, one of two displays will be shown. The
user can alternate between the two displays as desired
by pressing the ‘NEXT’ button. System operation is not
affected by pressing the ‘NEXT’ button. One of the displays is always the current time of day. The second
display is one of the following: either a) days remaining or b) gallons remaining.
Days remaining is the number of days left before the
system goes through a regeneration cycle. Capacity
remaining is the number of gallons that will be treated
before the system goes through a regeneration cycle.
Also, when the system is in service and if water is flowing through the system, the word “Softening”
flashes on the display. If the unit says “Filtering” instead of “Softening”, it must be reprogrammed. Contact
an authorized WaterTech dealer.
REGENERATION MODE:
If the system meter
control has called for an automatic regeneration, the
words “REGEN TODAY” will flash on the display to
indicate that the system will regenerate at the upcoming
preset delayed regeneration time. Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. The
default preset time is 2:00 am. If there is a demand for water while the system is regenerating, untreated
water is available through the automatic internal bypass feature.
MANUAL REGENERATION:
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than the
system calls for. This is usually referred to as ‘manual regeneration’ although it is only started manually. If
there is a period of heavy water usage (because of guests or a heavy laundry day, for example), a manual
regeneration may be initiated to bring the system to full capacity.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the upcoming preset delayed regeneration
time, (when the regeneration time option is set to “NORMAL” or “NORMAL + on
0”) press and release “REGEN”. The words “REGEN TODAY” will flash on the
display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the preset delayed regeneration time. If you pressed
the “REGEN” button in error, pressing the button again will cancel the request.
NOTE: If the regeneration
time option is set to “on 0”, there is no set delayed regeneration time so “REGEN TODAY” will not activate
if “REGEN” button is pressed.
To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the “REGEN” button for three seconds. The
system will begin to regenerate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled. Once the control valve
begins a regeneration cycle, it can be rapid-advanced through the remainder of the cycles by pressing the
“REGEN” button after the drive motor completes each cycle shift.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include information about the step of
the regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to be completed. The system runs through
the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water when the regeneration has been
completed.
REGEN TODAY will Flash if
a regeneration is
expected
“Tonight.”
