2. SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER:
■ Press the SELECT button once to display 15
(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 15 gpg hard and
contains 2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness
number for each 1 ppm of iron. In this example,
you would use 25 for your hardness number.
15 gpg hardness
2 ppm iron x 5 = 10 +10
(times) 25 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. Continuous pressure on the
UP or DOWN button changes the display twice
each second.
3. SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME:
■ Press the SELECT button once to display 2:00
AM (flashing) and RECHARGE TIME.
At the 2:00 AM RECHARGE TIME
setting, the softener begins reĆ
generation (see pages 11 and 12)
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 AUTOĆ
MATIC BYPASS, page 13).
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 AMĆPM as you did when setting the
time of day.
NOTE:
Each press of the UP/DOWN buttons changes the
