SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME
Your demand water softener will automatically regen-
erate when it needs to, based on water usage. The
time of day that the automatic recharge cycle begins
may be changed as follows:
1. Press the SELECT button once again to display a
flashing “2:00AM” and the words “SET RECHARGE
TIME”. This is a good time for the recharge to start
in most households, because water is not in use.
2. If you want to change the recharge start time,
press the
p
UP or
q
DOWN buttons until the
desired time shows. Be sure AM or PM is correct.
SET SALT LEVEL
The water softener has a low salt indicator light to
remind you to refill the storage tank with salt.
NOTE: You must set salt level each time salt is added
to the water softener.
To set this monitor system:
1. Lift the salt lid and level the salt in the storage tank.
2. The yellow salt level decal, on the brinewell inside
the tank, has numbers from 0 to 8. Observe the
highest number the leveled salt is at, or closest to.
3. Press the SELECT button to display a flashing
“OFF” and the words “SET SALT LEVEL”.
4. Press the
p
UP button until the number on the
screen corresponds to the salt level. At level 2 or
below, the “Low Salt" LED indicator will flash. If
you wish to turn this feature off, press the
q
DOWN button past 0, and the word “OFF” flash-
es in the display.
5. Press the SELECT button once more to complete
the initial programming. The current time of day
will show in the display.

SET SALT EFFICIENCY
When this feature is ON, the water softener will oper-
ate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per

using smaller salt dosage but more regeneration
water). The softener is shipped with this feature set
OFF.

screens in Figure 33 is displayed. Once in this dis-
play, press the SELECT button once and one of
the two displays in Figure 34 is shown.
