WATER SOFTENER START UP
C. PROGRAM THE TIMER
Q SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER
I Press the SELECT button once to display 25
(flashing) and HARDNESS.
The grains per gallon (gpg) hard
ness of your water supply is on
your water analysis report. Be
sure to enter water test results on
page A, for future reference.
If your water supply contains iron, compensate for
it by adding to the water hardness number. For ex
ample, assume your water is 20 gpg hard and con
tains 2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness number for
each 1 ppm of iron. In this example, you would use
30 for your hardness number.
2 ppm iron X 5 = 10
(times)
20 gpg hardness
+10
30 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. Holding the UP or DOWN but
ton in changes the display twice each second.
Q SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME
I Press the SELECT button to display 2:00 AM
(flashing) and RECHARGE TIME.
At the 2:00 AM recharge time
setting, the softener begins re
generation (see pages 2-3 and
2-4) at 2:00 AM, ending no later
than 4:00 AM. This is a good time in most house
holds because water is not being used (see Auto
matic Bypass, page 2-4). 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 AM-
PM as you did when setting the present time of day.
Note:
Each press of the UP / DOWN buttons changes the
display 1 hour. Holding the buttons in changes the
display twice each second.
■ Press the SELECT button once again, to com
plete initial programming, and RECHARGE TO
NIGHT shows in the display.
