2. SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER:
■ Press the SELECT button once to display 25
(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 20 gpg hard and
contains 2ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness number
for each 1 ppm of iron. In this example, you would
use 30 for your 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 time.. .25,
30, 35, etc. Holding the UP or DOWN button in
changes the display twice each second.
3. SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME:
■ Press the SELECT button to display 2:00 AM
(flashing) and RECFIARGE TIME. ^
At the 2:00 AM recharge time
setting, the softener begins re­
generation (see pages 12 and
13) 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 14). 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
AM-PM as you did when setting the present time of
day.
NOTE:
Each press of the UP / DOWN buttons changes the
display 1 hour. Holding the buttons in changes the
display twice each second.
4. SET CLEAN FEATURE (optional):
■ Press the SELECT button to display OEE
(flashing) and CLEAN.
This feature is beneficial on
water supplies containing iron
and/or high amounts of sedi­
ments (sand, silt, dirt, etc.).
When set to ON, a backwash and
fast rinse cycle will occur first,
preceeding the normal regen­
eration sequence (see page 12).
This provides extra cleaning of
the resin bed before it is regener­
ated with the salt brine. To conserve water, if your
water supply does not contain iron or sediments, be
sure this feature is set to OFF. Use the UP / Down
buttons to change the ON / OFF displays.
■ Press the SELECT button once again, to return
the present time, and RECHARGE TONIGHT in the
display.
