^ EXTRA RECHARGE

Sometimes, a manually started
regeneration (recharge) may be

desired, or needed. Two exam­

ples are:

- You have used more water than

usual (guests visiting) and you

may run out of soft water before
the next timer started regenera­
tion.

- You did not refill the softener

with salt before it was gone. After
you refill with salt:

You can start a regeneration right

away, or you can set the timer to

regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or

other preset recharge time). Do

^ SALT MONITOR SYSTEM

The faceplate timer has a low salt monitor with an
indicator light to remind you to refill the storage
tank with salt. To set this monitor system:

Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the
storage tank.

The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the
tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see drawing be­
low). Observe the number the leveled salt is at
or closest to.

Now, press the SALT LEVEL ADJUST button
until black bars display up to the salt level num­

ber. For example, the pictures below show the

salt level at 6.

q

I Finally, set the level you want the low salt indi­

cator light to come on. Press the SIGNAL LIGHT
ADJUST button until a (^) shows opposite this
number. In the example below, the light will
come one when the stored salt drops to level 2.
At level 2, the storage tank is about 1/3 fuU. This

is the lowest you should allow the stored salt
level to drop to.

If you want to turn the salt monitor off, press the

SIGNAL LIGHT ADJUST button until OFF
shows above.

Note:
For accurate salt monitor operation, always use
nugget or pellet water softener salt. See page 1-6.
If potassium chloride is used, be sure to adjust the
timer to the KCl setting on page 1-4.
