PROGRAM THE TIMER

2.

SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER:

Press the SELECT button once to display 15

(flashing) and HARDNESS.

The grains per gallon (gpg)

hardness of your water supply is

on your water analysis report. Be

sure to enter water test results on

page 2, for future reference.

NOTE:

If your water supply contains iron, compensate for

it by adding to the water hardness number. For

example, assume your water is 15 gpg hard and

contains 2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness

number for each 1 ppm of iron. In this example,

you would use 25 for your hardness number.

15 gpg hardness

2 ppm iron x 5 = 10

25 HARDNESS NUMBER

Press the

UP/DOWN

buttons to set your

water hardness number in the display. The

DOWN button moves the display to 1. The UP

button moves the display to the highest setting

(see maximum setting for your model in the

specifications).

NOTE:

Each press of the UP/DOWN button changes the

display by 1 between 1 and 25. Between 25 and

the highest number, the display changes 5 at a

SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME:

Press the SELECT button once to display 2:00

AM (flashing) and RECHARGE TIME.

At the 2:00 AM RECHARGE TIME

setting, the softener begins reĆ

generation (see pages 11 and 12)

at 2:00 AM, ending no later than

4:00 AM. This is a good time in most households

because water is not being used (see AUTOMATIC

BYPASS, page 13). If a different RECHARGE TIME

setting would be better for your household, do the

following.

Press the

UP/DOWN

buttons to set the

desired RECHARGE starting hour. Be sure to

observe the AMĆPM as you did when setting the

present time of day.

NOTE:

Each press of the UP/DOWN buttons changes the

return the present time (steady) of day and

RECHARGE TONIGHT in the display.

SET ‘‘CLEAN’’ FEATURE:

alternates between ``CLEAn'', and ``OFF'' (deĆ

fault).

When set to ``CLEAn''/``ON'', a backwash is asĆ

sured after every 500 gallons of water usage. BackĆ

wash is described on page 12. This cleaning backĆ

wash is in addition to the backwash during reĆ

charge. If you have iron in the water supply, or

higher amounts of sediments (sand, silt, dirt, etc.)

you should set this feature to ON.

J To set to ON, or to turn off if already on, press

either the UP or DOWN button once. The length

of this extra backwash is 1 minute (default time
