[]SALT EFFICIENCY: 0 When this feature is ON, the unit will operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains

of hardness per pound of salt or higher. (May re- charge more often using smaller salt dosage and less

water). For installations in the state of California,

you must turn the Salt Efficiency Feature setting to ON.

2.Press SELECT 1 again to show the CLEAN dis- play.

[]CLEAN: This feature is beneficial on water sup-

plies containing iron and/or high amounts of sedi- ments (sand, silt, dirt, etc.). When set to ON, a back- wash and fast rinse cycle will occur first, preceeding

the normal regeneration sequence (see page 2-4).

This provides extra cleaning of the resin bed before

it is regenerated with the salt brine. To conserve wa-

ter set this feature OFF if your water supply does

not contain iron or sediments. Default for UltraSoft 425 is OFF, default for UltraSoft 480 is ON.

3.Press SELECT 1 again and the CLEAN TIME dis- play shows.

[]Maximum days between regenerations: The face-

plate timer automatically controls regeneration fre-

quency (see page 2-6). This provides the greatest

operating efficiency, and under most conditions, this feature will be left in its default mode. Howev-

er, modify this feature if you want to force a regen-

eration every set number of days. 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 typical-

ly shown above. Setting is available from 1 to 15 days by using the UP and DOWN buttons.

7. Press SELECT i to return the present time display.
