The control systems and technique can regulate or control operations of a water treatment system in a primary control mode and, when appropriate, in a secondary or an alternate control mode. The primary control can represent a normal control mode during which the water treatment system is intended to operate. The alternate control mode can represent a second control or mode of operation. The systems can be operated to control or facilitate regulation, monitoring, and performance of one or more operating parameters of one or more water systems between, or to and from, a first mode, a second or alternate mode, and, in some cases, a third or even a fourth control mode. The change in control mode can be triggered by identifying one or more predetermined, pre-selected, and/or programmed conditions.

What is claimed is: 1. A water treatment system comprising: a contact chamber; an input device in fluid communication with water in the contact chamber and configured to measure an operating parameter of the water treatment system and generate a corresponding input signal; a controller disposed to receive and analyze the input signal and generate a first output signal, in a first control mode, based on a first difference between the input signal and a first set point value and a second output signal, in a second control mode, based on a second difference between the input signal and a second set point value; and an output device configured to introduce an agent into the contact chamber and to receive the first and second output signals and regulate introduction of the agent. 2. The wastewater system of claim 1, wherein the controller can be operated by transferring from a manual control state to an automatic control state. 3. The water treatment system of claim 1, wherein the operating parameter corresponds to an oxidation reduction potential of water in the water treatment system. 4. The water treatment system of claim 3, wherein the controller is configured to calculate a flow adjusted lag time based on a change in a flow rate of the water. 5. The water treatment system of claim 4, wherein the first set point value is 475 mV. 6. The water treatment system of claim 5, wherein any of the first and second output signals is modified based on a water flow measurement and a current dosage value. 7. The water treatment system of claim 6, wherein the second set point value is 700 mV. 8. The water treatment system of claim 7, wherein the controller is configured to modify the any of the first and second output signals based on an oxidation reduction potential set point and the rate of change of the oxidation reduction potential.
