Hello All,
Noticed today, middle of day, my water softener went onto a regen cycle. When it finished I noticed the time was about 120 am and date one day earlier. Other settings, like hardness setting were fine.
I did lose power yesterday as I unplugged the unit for 1 or 2 mins to reposition the cable. Heard the valve reset, a normal mechanical sound when I have removed/replaced power in the past.
I reset the time/date. Everything g seems to be fine. Tested hardness and it was 0.
I just tried to reproduce the problem. I removed power for 1 min and reapplied power. Valve ce back online, but showed 1200 am, 1 day earlier as date (12/10), and it was showing a regen will happen in 2 hours (2 am is the setting I have.
I changed the daye/time and now it will regen in about 6 hours again.
Is there a battery or capacitor that holds configuration in memory. A battery I can replace, but I don't see any reference to a battery in any manuals for the Fleck 58xxxtr2. Also, I would expect all settings to be lost, not just date/time and amount of treated water left.
Installed 9/2017.
** EDIT **
Just found on the 5810xtr2 spec sheet, this statement "Time of day super capacitor backup for power loss"
I assume this is on the xtr2 control board, probably not a replaceable part.....
Thoughts?
