Step-by-step installation instructions.
Programming the Control (cont.)
SET SALT LEVEL
1. Press the MODE button until
arrow points to SALT LEVEL.
2. Determine level of salt in brine tank using yellow
indicator on side of brine well, inside brine tank
(see illustration on page 5).
3. Press UP or DOWN
button to set the SALT LEVEL
to correspond to level on
yellow indicator in brine tank.
NOTE: Each press of a button changes the level by
increments of 0.5 up to 8.0. As the number increases,
the salt level bars increase on each whole number.
Lowering the salt level below zero turns the SALT LEVEL
indicator OFF.
4. Press the MODE button to accept. The
display shows the present time of day
and DAYS TO EMPTY. RECHARGE
TONIGHT may appear if unit is new.
DAYS TO EMPTY
The words DAYS TO EMPTY and a number
are shown in the lower half of the display.
This information is shown in the normal
run display. This is to inform the user of the number of days
before the salt level in the brine tank reaches Level 0.
There will be salt left in the salt tank, but it may not be
sufficient to fully recharge the system. Salt should be added
at this time to avoid hard water. The value is updated daily
and whenever the SALT LEVEL value is changed.
NOTE: For the first several weeks of operation, the DAYS TO
EMPTY may provide erratic operation. For example, the
blue indicator light may flash, showing that more salt is
required, when the actual salt level in the tank is well above
the Level 0. In some cases, the DAYS TO EMPTY may even
increase over a several week period.
It takes a couple of months for the water softener to learn
your water usage pattern. Once it does this, it will accurately
determine actual salt usage pattern. During this period,
check salt level when blue indicator light flashes. If the salt
level in the tank is at Level 1 or above, allow system to run.
Be sure to reset your salt level indicator each time you add
salt to the system.
