Salt Alert Level is the level at which you want your softener to signal that the salt level is low. When salt level drops to this point, the low salt LED will flash on the faceplate. Move the small cursor up or down by pressing the UP or DOWN arrows and observe the number in the display. When the correct number is displayed, press the SELECT key. Screen will return to Salt Options screen.

NOTE: This warning will indicate the softener's inability

to reduce barium and radium 226/228 efficiently.

Changing the Salt Alert Level to less than 2 will void the proper function of this indicator.

Salt Type allows you to chose between sodium chloride (NaCI), which is regular softener salt, or potassium chloride (KCI), which is an alternative to sodium chloride. KCI should be used in accordance to the following steps to help give you years of maintenance free service.

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

2.A softener using KCI should not be placed in areas with high temperature changes or high humidity (KCI will hard- en in these environments and may make the softener inoperable).

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

4.Be sure to set the correct salt type depending on which salt type is used (NaCI or KCI). Use the UP or DOWN arrows to toggle between NaCI or KCI and press SELECT to enter information and return to Salt Options screen.

NOTE: If KCI is selected the normal operating screen

will display KCI in the lower right hand corner of the dis-

play.

Salt Efficiency has three options.

Hiqh Performance, Salt Efficient and Max. Salt Efficient. Using Sodium Chloride (NaCI) with these options, High Performance allows the softener to operate at a normal effi- ciency rate. This is good for households with high water usage. At the Salt Efficient setting, the softener operates at a minimum of 4,000 grains per pound of salt and set at Max. Salt Efficient, the softener operates at a minimum of 4,250 grains per pound of salt. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to move the black bar over your choice. Press SELECT, and a warning screen will appear. Changing this setting will affect performance. Choose either Cancel or Accept. Display will return to Salt Options menu, press SELECT once more to return to normal operating screen. An "E" will be displayed on the screen if either Salt Efficient or Max. Salt Efficient is selected.

NOTE: The state of California requires a setting of Salt

Efficient or Max. Salt Efficient.
