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.

If you have very hard water, and you find your system is regenerating every 1–2 days, turn the SALT EFFICIENCY to OFF to lengthen the time between regenerations.

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

To change the setting, press the UP or DOWN buttons to toggle the feature ON or OFF. Press the MODE button to accept. The display will move to

SIGNALS

LOST TIME SIGNAL

If time is lost on the display due to power interruption, the blue indicator light will flash 4 times every second, until the present time of day is entered.

LOW SALT SIGNAL

When the DAYS TO EMPTY drops to 15, the blue indicator light and DAYS TO EMPTY in the display will flash every second and the alarm will beep every 30 seconds (from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM), to notify the user that the unit is running low on salt. As soon as any button is pressed, the alarm will stop beeping. The blue indicator light and DAYS TO EMPTY will continue to flash. Once salt is added to the brine tank and the SALT LEVEL is reset, the DAYS TO EMPTY will be reset.

ERROR SIGNALS

If there is an error code detected, the blue indicator light will flash 4 times every second, the display will flash Err and the alarm will beep

every 30 seconds (from 8:00 AM to

8:00 PM) to signal that the softener requires service. The alarm can be turned off by pressing any button, but the blue indicator light and display will continue to flash.

See page 17 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.

BLUE INDICATOR LIGHT

Steady blue light indicates that the unit is working correctly. The light flashes when the unit needs attention from the user.

Light flashes and DAYS TO EMPTY flashes—check salt level and add salt as required.

Light flashes and Err is in the display—electrical problem with system—see page 17.

Light will also flash when power to the unit has been interrupted. Check the PRESENT TIME setting.
