User Displays

General Operation

CHARGER Water WS1 25CT 1 25 Inch Control Valve - General
Operation

When the system is operating one of two displays will be shown. Pressing ▲ or ▼ will alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day. The second display is the days remaining until the next regeneration. If the days remaining is equal to one, a regeneration will occur at the next preset regeneration time. The user can scroll between displays as desired.
If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the preset time of regeneration, the arrow will point to Regen.
Regeneration Mode

CHARGER Water WS1 25CT 1 25 Inch Control Valve - Regeneration
Mode

Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with low water usage is when a household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system is regenerating, untreated water will be used.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to the Regeneration Cycle Display to indicate the current regen cycle step and time remaining. An arrow will also point to Regen. The system will run through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water when the regeneration is completed.
Manual Regeneration

CHARGER Water WS1 25CT 1 25 Inch Control Valve -
Regeneration

Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as a manual regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, simultaneously press ▲ and ▼ and release. The arrow will point to the word Regen if a regeneration is expected “tonight.” To cancel the regeneration simultaneously press ▲ and ▼ and release. To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, simultaneously press ▲ and ▼ for three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled.
Note: For softeners, if brine tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.
