1. Press the SELECT / MENU button once again to
display a flashing “25” and the words “SET HARD-
NESS”.
2. Press the r UP or s DOWN buttons to set your
water’s hardness number.

sate for it by adding to the water hardness
number. For example, assume your water is
20 gpg hard and contains 2 ppm iron. Add 5

iron. In this example, you would use 30 for
your hardness number.
20 gpg hardness
2 ppm iron x 5 = 10 +10
(times) 30 HARDNESS NUMBER
NOTE: If you use potassium chloride (KCl) salt
instead of sodium chloride (NaCl) salt in this
softener, increase the hardness setting by
25%. For example, if you will be using KCl
and your water supply’s hardness is 20 gpg,
set the softener to 25 gpg.
