Water Softener - Manual Recharge

There are times when you may need to manually start the recharge process on a water softener. Examples of this are:

• You have used more water than usual because of houseguests or a large laundry day and therefore may run out of soft water before the next recharge.
• The system ran out of salt.

Initiating a Manual Recharge Cycle on a Water Softener

Use one of the following recharge features if you need to recharge manually.

• Recharge Tonight: A recharge will occur at the next pre-set recharge start time.
• Recharge Now: The water softener will immediately begin to recharge. In approximately 2 hours you will have a new supply of soft water. During recharge the softener goes into an automatic bypass. Although you will not have soft water during this time, hard water will be available.

Consult the Owner's Manual for your specific model for directions on setting Recharge Tonight or Recharge Now.
