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 re­
port. 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
exanrple, assume your water is 20 gpghard and contains
2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness number for each 1
ppm of iron. In this example, you would use 30 for your
hardness number.

RECHARGE
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 OFF
(flashing) and CEEAN.
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, proceeding the normal re­
generation sequence (see page
12). This provides extra clean­
ing of the resin bed before it is
regenerated 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.
