PROGRAM THE TIMER
2. SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER:
■
Press the SELECT button once to display 15
(flashing) and HARDNESS.
The grains per gallon (gpg) hardĆ
ness 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
