Programming the Water Treatment System
FIG. 19
SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER
1
. Press the SELECT button once again to display a
flashing “25” and the word “HARDNESS”.
2
. Press the
p
UP or
q
DOWN buttons to set your
water’s hardness number.
NOTE:
If your water supply contains iron, compen-
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
to the hardness number for each 1 ppm of
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.
SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME
Your demand water treatment system will automati-
cally regenerate 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.
FIG. 20
SET SALT LEVEL
The water treatment system 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 salt level scale, on the brinewell inside the
tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (See Fig. 21).
Observe the highest number the leveled salt is at,
or closest to.
3
. Press the SELECT button to display the words
“SET SALT LEVEL”.
4
. Press the
p
UP or
q
DOWN buttons until the num-
ber on the screen corresponds to the salt level. At
level 2 or below, the “Low Salt" indicator light 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.
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.
