I have a 18 year old water softener system with a 460i Controller. It has 24,000 grain capacity and set for 7lb salt use per generation. There’s only my wife and I now and we use 10-15 cubic meter of water per months. The system is set for 12 hardness and the capacity at 16,000 grain.
lately, the I noticed the water felt hard and when I went downstairs to check it out, I realized that the surge protector had somehow been turned off. Once I turned it back on, I had to reset the time and wanted to do a Manual Regeneration. So I did what the manual says - pressed down the button and let it go... but nothing is happening. How long does it take for the regeneration to start? Immediately or at the usual 2:00 am? I waited more than 10 minutes but nothing. The button also is sticking... when I press it it goes in and stays there but then pops out after a few seconds. What does that mean? Do I need to manually turn the button using a screw driver?
Also as a side, I noticed, the PM red dot is not coming on when setting the time...
