Program The Timer
SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER
To set the water hardness number, complete the follow- ing steps:
1.Press the SELECT button once to display the words SET HARDNESS and a flashing 25. The grains per gallon (gpg) hardness of your water supply is on your water analysis report. Be sure to enter water test results on the Facts & Figure Chart on page 3.
2.If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it by adding to the water hardness number. For exam- ple, assume your water is 20 gpg hard and contains 2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness number for each I ppm of iron. In this example, you would use 30 for your hardness number.
2 ppm iron x 5 = 10
20 gpg hardness
+10
30 HARDNESS NUMBER
3.Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set your water hardness number in the display. The DOWN button moves the display to 1. The UP button moves the display to the highest setting (see maximum setting for your model in the specifications).
NOTE: Each press of the UP or DOWN button changes the display by 1 between 1 and 25. Between 25 and the highest number, the display changes 5 at a time (25, 30, 35, etc.) Holding the UP or DOWN button in changes the display twice each second.
SET REGENERATION TIME
To complete setting the regeneration time, complete the following steps:
1.Press the SELECT button to display the words SET RECHARGE TIME and a flashing 2:00 AM.
2.At the 2:00 AM recharge time setting, the softener begins regeneration (see pages 25 - 27) at 2:00 AM. This is a good time in most households because water is not being used. If a different recharge time setting would be better for your household, complete the following step.
3.Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the desired recharge starting hour. Be sure to observe the AM- PM as you did when setting the present time of day.
Note: Each press of the UP or DOWN buttons changes the display one hour. Holding the but- tons in changes the display twice each second.
SET SALT LEVEL
To set the salt level, complete the following steps:
1.Press the SELECT button to display SET SALT LEVEL and a flashing 0 (zero). See page 21, for instructions on adding salt to the salt storage tank. The face plate timer has a salt monitor with an indi- cator light to remind you to add salt to the storage tank.
NOTE:You must set salt level each time salt is added to the water softener.
2.To set this monitor system, lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the storage tank. The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the tank, has numbers from 0 to 8. Observe the highest number the leveled salt is at, or closest to. Press the UP or DOWN but- tons until the number corresponds with the salt level number. At level 2 or below, the indicator LED will flash. If you wish to turn this feature off, press the DOWN button past 0, and the word “OFF” flashes in the display.
3.Press the SELECT button once again, to complete initial programming, and the current time of day will show in the display.
