default display | example: set to 4 days maxi- |
| mum between regenerations |
Maximum days between regenerations: The faceplate timer automatically controls regeneration frequency (see page 14). This provides the greatest operating efficiency, and normally the maximum days feature is not needed. If you want to be certain a regeneration will occur within a number of days, use this feature. For example, if your water supply contains iron and you want the softener to regenerate at least once every few days to keep the resin bed clean, set the display as typically shown above. Setting is available from 1 to 15 days by using the UP and DOWN buttons.

PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical power comes on again, you have to reset the present time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless a change is desired.
Even if the timer is incorrect after a long power outage, the softener works as it should to keep your water soft. However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the timer to the correct time of day.
12 or 24 hour clock: All time displays are shown in standard clock time (1 to 12 PM; and 1 to 12 AM) at the 12 hr default setting. If military time displays are desired, set to 24 hr by pressing the UP button.
