Programming water hardness 

Single press of the “OK” button (in the Time 
mode) will cause the transition to the 
HARDNESS mode; the value flashing on the 
display screen should be 25 (default value). 
Then, it is necessary to code the hardness of 
used water in grains per American gallon - 
gpg (water hardness expressed in, for 
example, the German 

o

n should be multiplied 

by 1.036). The water hardness can be 
expressed in different units. Below is the table 
showing water hardness units most commonly 
used in our country:

  In case when the results of the 

physical and chemical analysis 
are not available, water hardness 
information should be obtained 
from local water supply company 
or from relevant regional office of 
the State Sanitary Inspectorate or 
it should be self determined with 
the use of a test which can be 
ordered from the vendor. Please 
enter the results obtained on page 
4 of this manual as well as on a  
separate label, which should be 
placed under the brine tank cover 
with the use of adhesive tape. 

 

  If raw water contains iron in  

concentration exceeding 0.2 mg/l, 
please use adjusted water 
hardness instead of water 
hardness. It is calculated in the 
following manner: 

 

Adjusted hardness [

o

dH] = hardness [

o

dH] + 4.8 

 iron 

quantity in mg Fe/l 

 

  Enter the water hardness number 

or adjusted water hardness 
number (expressed in gpg) to the 
water softener software as 
operational water hardness. In 
order to enter the water hardness 
number press and hold 

 

or ▼ 

until the relevant number appears 
on the display screen. Pressing ▼ 
will reduce the displayed water 
hardness value to 1. Pressing 

 

will increase the displayed water 
hardness value to the maximum 
value for the given device. 
Between water hardness values of 
1 and 25, each pressing of 

 or 

▼ will respectively increase or 
reduce the water hardness value 
in one unit increments. The value 
increases or decreases by 5 units 
in the range between 25 and the 
maximum value. If the button 
remains pressed, the value will 
change twice in one second.  

 
 

Programming regeneration hour 

 

Single press of the “OK” 
button (in Hardness mode) will 
cause the transition to the 
RECHARGE TIME mode; the 
value flashing on the display 
screen should be 02:00 (2 a.m.) 
as default value.

  

 

  If this setting is confirmed (by 

pressing the “OK” button), the 
water softener will activate the 
regeneration process at 2 a.m. 
Due to water consumption 
reduced to minimum at night, 2:00 
a.m. is the optimum regeneration 
hour.  

 

  In order to change the 

regeneration hour settings, press
