WATER SOFTENER START-UP
1C.PROGRAM THE TIMER
2.SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER:
■ Press the SELECT button once to display 15 (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 results on page 2, for future reference.
NOTE:
If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it by adding to the water hardness number. For example assume your water is 15 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 25 for your hardness number.
| 15 gpg hardness |
2 ppm iron x 5 = 10 | +10 |
(times) | 25 HARDNESS NUMBER |
■ Press the UP/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/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. Continuous pressure on the UP or DOWN button changes the display twice each second.
3.SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME:
■ Press the SELECT button once to display 2:00 AM (flashing) and RECHARGE TIME.
At the 2:00 AM RECHARGE TIME setting, the softener begins re; generation (see pages 11 and 12) at 2:00 AM, ending no later than
4:00 AM. This is a good time in most households because water is not being used (see AUTOMATIC BYPASS, page 13). If a different RECHARGE TIME setting would be better for your household, do the following.
■ Press the UP/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/DOWN buttons changes the display 1 hour. Continuous pressure on the buttons changes the display twice each second.
■Press the SELECT button once again, to return the present time (steady) of day and RECHARGE TONIGHT in the display.
4.SET ``CLEAN'' FEATURE:
Press the SELECT button again. The display alternates between ``CLEAn, and ``OFF (de; fault).
When set to ``CLEAn/``ON, a backwash is as; sured after every 500 gallons of water usage. Back; wash is described on page 12. This cleaning back; wash is in addition to the backwash during re; charge. If you have iron in the water supply, or higher amounts of sediments (sand, silt, dirt, etc.) you should set this feature to ON.
To set to ON, or to turn off if already on, press either the UP or DOWN button once. The length of this extra backwash is 1 minute (default time setting).
