Installation Instructions

SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER (CONT.)

3.When the display shows your water hardness (in grains per gallon), press MODE to accept.

NOTE: If there is clear water iron in your water supply, you will need to increase the hardness setting by 5 for each 1 ppm of clear water iron in your water supply.

You can get the grains per gallon (gpg) hardness of your water supply from a water analysis laboratory. If you are on a municipal supply, call your local water department. Or call Legend Technical Services, an independent laboratory, to request a water hardness test kit at 1.800.949.8220, option 4. If your report shows hardness in parts per million (ppm) or milligrams per liter (mg/l), simply divide by 17.1 to get the equivalent number of grains per gallon.

SET RECHARGE (STARTING) TIME

1. Press the MODE button until RECHARGE TIME appears in the display.

NOTE: A flashing 2:00 AM (factory

default) should show in the display. This is a good time for recharge to start (takes about 2 hours) in most households because water is not in use. HARD WATER is bypassed to house faucets during recharge.

OPTIONAL CONTROL SETTINGS

The controller display has several options and features.

To access the System Diagnostics, press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds.

To return to the normal display, press the MODE button 2 times.

SALT EFFICIENCY

When the SALT EFFICIENCY feature is ON, the

unit will operate at a salt efficiency of at least 4000 grains of hardness removed per pound of salt. This mode of operation is the most efficient setting for salt usage, because the system will tend to recharge more often, with less salt usage. Turning the feature OFF will tend to lengthen the time between recharge cycles, which will provide the most efficient usage of water, but may use more salt. The degree of difference between these two cycles is highly dependent on the water usage and hardness

at a particular installation.

NOTE: California Regulations require this feature to be ON for installations in California.

If no change is needed, go to step 3. To change the recharge starting time, follow step 2.

2.Press UP or DOWN button to set the desired recharge start time. Be sure to observe the AM or PM as you did when setting the time of day.

NOTE: Each press of a button changes the time by

To access the Salt Efficiency, press and hold the MODE button for 3 seconds. The System Diagnostics display will appear.

See page 16 for information to

assist in troubleshooting error codes. Once the problem is corrected, disconnect the transformer from the wall outlet momentarily, and plug it back in. The normal display will appear. The motor may run for several minutes, as the unit resets. If the problem is not corrected, the error code will reappear in 6 minutes.
