SET W/VTER HARDNESS NUMBER
To set the water hardness number, complete the follow­
ing steps:
1. Press the SELECT button once to display the words
SET HARDNESS and a flashing 25. The grains per
gallon (gpg) hardness of your water supply is on your
water analysis report. Be sure to enter water test
results on the Facts & Figure Chart on page 3.
2. If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it
by adding to the water hardness number. For exam­
ple, assume your water is 20 gpg hard and contains
2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness number for each I
ppm of iron. In this example, you would use 30 for
your hardness number.
2 ppm iron X 5 = 10
20 gpg hardness

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

changes the display by 1 between 1 and 25.
Between 25 and the highest number, the display

2. At the 2:00 AM recharge time setting, the softener
begins regeneration (see pages 25 - 27) at 2:00 AM.
This is a good time in most households because
water is not being used. If a different recharge time
setting would be better for your household, complete
the following step.

tank.
NOTE-.You must set salt level each time salt is
added to the water softener.
2. To set this monitor system, lift the salt hole cover
and level the salt in the storage tank. The 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. Press the UP or DOWN but­
tons until the number corresponds with the salt level
number. At level 2 or below, the indicator LED will
