SECTION 2
HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS
2A. FACEPLATE TIMER FEATURES
EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (re- charge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples are:
-- You have used more water than usual (guests visiting) and you may run out of soft water before the next timer started regeneration.
-- You did not refill the softener with salt before itwas gone.
You can start a regeneration right away, or you can set the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or other preset recharge time). Do the following.

SALT MONITOR SYSTEM
The faceplate timer has a low salt monitor with an indicator light to remind you to refill the storage tank with salt. To set this monitor system:
1.Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the storage tank (press tank light buttonto lightinside of tank).
2.The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see drawing on page 9 and below). Observe the number the leveled salt is at or closest to.
3.Now, press the SALT LEVEL ADJUST button until black bars display up to the salt level number. For example, the pictures below show the salt level at 6.
4.Finally, set the level you want the low salt indicator light to come on. Press the SIGNAL LIGHT ADJUST button until a (T) shows oppo- site this number. In the example below, the light will come on when the stored salt drops to level 2. At level 2, the storage tank is about 1/3 full. This is the lowest you should allow the stored salt level to drop to. To turn the salt monitor off, press the button until OFF shows.
