softener valve and to the house pipes. If a faucet is

opened, hard water is there for your needs.

However, you should not use HOTwater, if possible, because the water heater will refill with hard water.

The softener regenerates from 2:00 AM to about 4:00 AM, (you can set anytime), a time when not much water is used.

If you get up early in the morning and you can hear

the softener regenerating, change the time setting.

Set the recharge time to 12:00 AM or 1:00 AM (page

7). Then regeneration will start and end that much earlier and your water heater will not refill with hard water if a hot faucet is opened.

[] WATER METER -- The water meter is in the

softener valve outlet. As water flows through the

meter, it sends electric pulses to the computer. The

computer changes the pulses to a measure in gallons of water.

[] COMPUTER--The computer is part of the circuit

board. It is programmed to know the softener's capacity (how many grains of hardness minerals it

will take out of the water before a regeneration is needed). When starting the softener, page 7, you set it for the grains per gallon (gpg) hardness of the water.

To find a regeneration pattern best for your needs,

the computer uses: (1) water usage from the meter,

(2) hardness setting, (3) softener capacity, and (4)

time since the last regeneration. The computer always adjusts this pattern to your water using habits.

It works toward providing you with soft water for the longest time and the most efficient salt usage.

Softening capacity is used as hard water goes

through the softener and hardness minerals are

removed, capacity is used. When the computer

determines that only enough capacity remains to provide soft water up to the next regeneration starting time (2:00 AM, or as otherwise set) it will

625.34857, 625.34859 specifications

The Kenmore 625.34859 and 625.34857 are notable water filtration systems designed for residential use, offering an efficient way to ensure clean and safe drinking water. These units are characterized by their advanced filtration technologies and user-friendly features that cater to the needs of modern households.

One of the main features of these models is their multi-stage filtration process, which effectively removes contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, and various impurities found in tap water. The filtration system includes a sediment filter, a carbon filter, and a reverse osmosis membrane, working synergistically to improve water quality significantly.

The reverse osmosis technology is a standout aspect of the Kenmore 625 series. This method utilizes a semi-permeable membrane that allows only water molecules to pass through while blocking larger molecules and contaminants. As a result, users enjoy cleaner, better-tasting water free of harmful substances. The filtration process is further complemented by a post-carbon filter that enhances the taste and removes any remaining odors.

Another significant characteristic is the high capacity of these systems. With a storage tank that provides ample water supply, families can conveniently access filtered water whenever needed without the frequent need for cartridge replacements. The POU (Point of Use) design allows for easy integration into kitchen setups, making it an ideal solution for cooking, drinking, and food preparation.

Furthermore, the Kenmore 625.34859 and 625.34857 come equipped with monitoring technology that alerts users when filter changes are needed. This feature eliminates the guesswork, ensuring that the systems operate at peak efficiency and maintain optimal water quality.

Installation of these units is user-friendly, often requiring only basic plumbing skills, making it accessible for DIY enthusiasts. Additionally, both models are designed for low maintenance, offering long service life and reliability, which makes them an excellent investment for those looking to elevate their home water quality.

In summary, the Kenmore 625.34859 and 625.34857 are advanced water filtration systems that combine effective multi-stage filtration, cutting-edge reverse osmosis technology, high capacity, and user-friendly features. Their ability to deliver purified water consistently makes them a popular choice for families looking to improve their drinking water quality and ensure their health and well-being.
