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)

SET SALT LEVEL

hardness of your water supply from a water analysis laboratory. If you are on a municipal

button to set the SALT LEVEL to correspond to

LEVEL

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 LEVEL	AM
SALT
until arrow points to
RECHARGE TIME.

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.

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.

DAYS TO EMPTY

The words DAYS TO EMPTY and a number are shown in the lower half of the display. This information is shown in the normal run display. This is to inform the user of the

number of days before the salt level in the brine tank reaches Level 0. There will be salt left in the salt tank, but it may not be sufficient to fully recharge the system. Salt should be added at this time to avoid hard water. The value is updated daily and whenever the SALT LEVEL value is changed.

NOTE: For the first several weeks of operation, the DAYS TO EMPTY may provide erratic operation. For example, the blue indicator light may flash, showing that more salt is required when the actual salt level in the tank is well above the Level 0. In some cases, the DAYS TO EMPTY may even increase over a several week period.

It takes a couple of months for the water softener to learn your water usage pattern. Once it does this, it will accurately determine actual salt usage pattern. During this first period, check salt level when blue indicator light flashes. If the salt level in the tank is at Level 1 or above, allow system to run. Be sure to reset your salt level indicator each time you add salt to the system.
