Progamming your Aquamaster Water Softener is necessary to ensure you get great performance.
This water softener features a five-button controller with an LCD display. The controller can be used to view the appliance’s status, perform regenerations, and change settings. The five buttons are used for programming as follows:
The Change Button is used with the Select button to set the value of certain parameters. When pressed, the value under the cursor changes to the next available value, typically increasing by one until all values have been displayed and the process begins again.
The Select Button is used to move the cursor when setting parameters. Press and release the Select button to move the cursor one digit to the right of the parameter to be changed, pressing the Select button again moves the cursor to the extreme left position.
The Display Button is used to enter programming modes and also to save a value and display the next value to be changed.
The Scroll Back function is used to step back to a previous parameter setting. It is typically used to go back to correct a setting without the need to scroll forward through all settings.
The Regenerate Button at the bottom of the controller is used when starting your water softener, to start an immediate regeneration, or to restore capacity if you run out of salt.
For Customer Settings, press and hold the Display button for about five seconds while “Customer Setting” displays. Release the button when “Set Time” displays.
