What Your Hybrid Water Softener Will Do; Controller Features; Extra Recharge; Recharge Now - Kenmore 625.385200 Use & Care Manual

The Kenmore Elite ® Hybrid Water Softener has been
designed to include two different types of media, a
high quality media that reduces tastes and odors and a
high efficiency media to remove hardness minerals.
This Hybrid Water Softener will provide you and your
home all the benefits of soft water, while providing
whole home chlorine taste and odor reduction and bar-
ium and radium 226/228 reduction. You can have fil-
tered water from your kitchen faucet for food prepara-
tion and drink, in the bath and shower which will
reduce chlorine's aesthetic effect on your skin and hair,
and at every bathroom sink for brushing your teeth.
There are no filters to change.
Based on NSF-tested rated capacity under NSF/ANSI
Standard 423, the Kenmore Elite ® Hybrid Water
Softener has an estimated useful life for chlorine taste
and odor reduction of over 10 years.
*NSF rated capacity is 570,000 gallons.
EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually initiated recharge (regeneration)
may be desired, or needed. Two examples are:
• You have used more water than usual (guests visiting)
and you may run out of soft water before the next
automatic regeneration.
• You did not add salt to the softener before it ran out.
Add salt to the softener before regenerating.
You can start a regeneration immediately, or you can
set the controller to regenerate at the next preset
recharge time (2:00 AM, or as set).
RECHARGE NOW
Press the REGENERATION button and hold for 3 sec-
until the words "RECHARGE", "Serv" and "Fill"
begin to flash in the display. The softener enters the fill
cycle of regeneration immediately. This regeneration
will take about 2 hours to complete. Then, you will
have soft water again.
NOTE: If the "Clean Feature" is set ON, the normal
regeneration cycle is preceded by a cleaning
backwash and rinse. The words "CLEAN" and
"Bkwsh" or "Rinse" flash in the display, along
with the minutes of the clean cycle remaining.
