HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS
2A. FACEPLATE TIMER FEATURES
EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (re­
charge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples
are:
- You have used more water than usual (guests
visiting) and you may run out of soft water before
the next timer started regeneration.
- You did not refill the softener with salt before it
was gone.
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 the following.

SALT MONITOR SYSTEM
The face plate 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:
1. Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the
storage tank.
2. The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the
tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see drawing on
page 9 and below). Observe the number the
leveled salt is at or closest to.
3. Now, press the SALT LEVEL ADJUST button
until black bars display up to the salt level
number. For example, the pictures below show
the salt level at 6.
4. Finally, set the level you want the low salt
indicator light to come on. Press the SIGNAL
LIGHT ADJUST button until a (Y) 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 full. This is the lowest you should
allow the stored salt level to drop to. 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 9.
