Programming the Water Softener

SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME

1. Press the PROGRAM button once again to display a flashing “2:00AM” and the words “RECHARGE TIME”. This is a good time for the recharge to start in most households, because water is not in use.

FIG. 18

2. If you want to change the recharge start time, press the r UP or s DOWN buttons until the desired time shows. Be sure AM or PM is correct.

SET SALT TYPE

1. Press the PROGRAM button once again to display a flashing “nACL”.

KCl should be used in accordance with the following steps to help give you years of maintenance free service.

Place only one bag at a time of KCl into your softener (the salt storage tank should contain no more than 60 pounds of KCl at any one time).

NOTE: A softener using KCl should not be located in areas with high temperature changes or high humidity (KCl may harden in these environ- ments and make the softener inoperable).

2. Check the brine tank and brinewell (black tube in salt storage tank) monthly. If hardening is present, pour small amounts of warm water on hardened areas until they loosen.

3. Be sure to set the correct salt type, depending on which type of salt is used (NaCl or KCl). Use the r UP or s DOWN buttons to toggle between NaCl and KCl, then press the PROGRAM button to enter the selection.

4. Press the PROGRAM button once again to return to normal operating display.

FIG. 19

Salt Type allows you to choose between sodium chlo- ride (NaCl), which is regular softener salt, or potassi- um chloride (KCl), which is an alternative to sodium chloride. KCl (potassium chloride) may be used if the user of the water softener is on a sodium restricted diet and is concerned about the amount of sodium in the water supply.

START A RECHARGE

1. Press the RECHARGE button and hold for three seconds, until “RECHARGE” begins to flash in the display, starting a recharge. This recharge draws the sanitizing bleach into and through the water softener. Any air remaining in the water softener is purged to the drain. During this time, periodically check for leaks.

NOTE: As with all other water system applications, leaks may occur. Leaks may not be immedi- ately apparent. Recheck for leaks 24 hours after first recharge cycle is complete.

With a capacity of 40,000 grains, this system is tailored for medium to large households, effectively providing softened water for various applications.
