Depressurizing a softener is essential for several instances like winterizing or performing maintenance. Don't worry. It's easy! Let's go through these 4 quick steps to safely release pressure from inside the unit.
1. You'll need to bypass the water softener by pushing the handle IN.
2. Go ahead and hold the Recharge button until you hear the motor start to turn, then let go. You'll notice the motor will stop after a few seconds. You'll see ‘Recharge Now’ or ‘Recharging’ flashing on the screen.
3. Press the ‘Recharge’ button again. The motor will turn on, moving to the next cycle.
4. Repeat Step 3 until the flashing 'recharge' indicator disappears from your screen.
