Customizing Features / Options

CLEAN / CLEAR WATER IRON REDUCTION

This feature is beneficial on water supplies containing ferrous (clear water) iron. The default setting is OFF. When this feature is set to ON, an additional back- wash and fast rinse cycle will occur first, preceding the normal regeneration sequence. This provides extra cleaning of the resin bed before it is regenerat- ed with the salt brine. To conserve water set this fea- ture OFF if your water supply does not contain iron or sediments.

1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the screen in Figure 27 is displayed. Once in this dis- play, press the PROGRAM button twice and one of the two displays in Figure 28 is shown.

MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGENERA- TIONS

The water softener automatically controls regenera- tion frequency. This provides the greatest operating efficiency and, under most conditions, this feature should be left in this automatic mode. However, you may modify this feature if you want to force a regen- eration every set number of days. For example, if your water supply contains clear water iron, you may want the softener to regenerate every few days to keep the resin bed clean. The maximum days between recharges may be set from 1 to 15 days, as follows:

NOTE: The softener will recharge on its own if need- ed, even if it is before the set number of days.
