_SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER

•Press the SELECT 1 button once to display 25 (flashing) and HARDNESS.

The grains per gallon (gpg)

hardness of your water supply is on your water analysis report.

Be sure to enter water test re- l___LiGNA ]HARDNESS sults on page A, for future refer-

ence.

If your water supply contains iron, compensate for

it by adding to the water hardness number. For ex- ample, assume your water is 20 gpg hard and contains 2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness number for each 1 ppm

of iron. In this example, you would use 30for your hard- ness number.

		20	gpg hardness
