High Performance Features: reverse Flow regeneration with Precision brining Traditional downflow softeners deplete the unused portion of the resin bed with every regeneration. It is like draining the gas tank in your car every time before filling it up! Precision brining saves additional salt by pre-making only 70% of the brine. Just before regeneration, the computer calculates the precise amount of brine top-up needed to regenerate only the depleted resin saving up to 30% more salt! Calculates the precise amount of brine required reverse Flow regen drives the hardness minerals up through the already depleted resin and out to drain - saving both salt and the unused portion of the resin for future use. soft Water recharge If total capacity goes below 3%, a short 15 minute recharge will restore additional capacity so the softener can soften until the regular 2:00 a.m. regeneration time. automatic backwash override On clean municipal water supply there is no need to backwash and clean the bed every regeneration. Save water each regeneration by skipping up to 10 backwash cycles. soft Water brine tank refill - Conserve capacity and keep brine tank cleaner by adding only treated soft water to brine tank rather than raw untreated hard water. automatic system refresh If no water is used for seven days, the system will perform an automatic refresh preventing bacteria growth. Ultimate Salt & Water Savings! Use 75% Less Salt & 64% Less Water! It s good for you & good for the environment! 24
