..................................................AUTOMATIC WATER SOFTENER
MW-40 DEMAND TIMER FEATURES, SETTINGS, AND SERVICE, continued
REGENERATION (START) TIME: At the 2:00AM
regeneration start time, the softener begins regenerations
at that time, ending no later than 4:00AM. This is a good
time in most households because water is not in use (see
Automatic Bypass on page 13). If a different time would be
better for your needs, do steps 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 to
change the starting hour.
MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATIONS: The
default setting allows the timer to control regeneration
frequency based on water usage readings from the water
meter. It provides the most economical operation. You can
set a maximum time (in days) between regenerations. For
example, no more than 3 days will pass without a
regeneration occurring if you set dY 3 in the display. A 1 to
7 day setting is available. To make a change from the
default setting, do steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10.
EFFICIENCY MODE: When this feature is ON, the unit will
operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per
pound of salt or higher. (May recharge more often using
smaller salt dosage and less water). When this is ON the
efficiency icon will show in the lower right hand corner of
the display. To make a change from the default setting, do
step 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10.
CALIFORNIA EFFICIENCY REQUIREMENT
Your water softener has a “High Efficiency” feature with an
“ON” or “OFF” setting. This softener setting is shipped in
the “OFF” position, which utilizes the maximum rated
capacity while most often achieving maximum salt
efficiencies. When installing this unit in the State of
California, you MUST turn this setting to the “ON” position
which may initiate more frequent recharges, however it will
operate at 4000 grains per pound of salt or higher.
If you wish to turn the Salt Efficiency feature “ON” ( icon
will show in display), follow the instructions on this page.
HEAVY DUTY BACKWASH: When set to ON, the
backwash cycle of regeneration will be 10 minutes long
instead of the normal 7 minute length. This is beneficial on
some water supplies high in iron or sediment content. To
conserve water, on clean supplies, be sure OFF shows. To
change this setting, do steps 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10.
SET 97% FEATURE: By setting to ON, unit will
automatically recharge when 97% capacity has been used,
at any time of day. To change this setting, do steps 1, 2, 4,
6, 8, 9 and 10.
