60 Descaling countdown (minutes left)
What the display is showing
During the RX/CX Quick-Flush, the display starts at 60 and drops by 1 every minute, showing the minutes of flushing left. The count only moves while the unit detects water flow, so it holds if the pump is stopped.
Applies to: Rinnai SENSEI RX/CX tankless (RX, RXP, CX, CXP)
