SECTION2 , , I HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS

B. SOFT WATER SERVICE and REGENERATION

AUTOMATIC BYPASS

During the brining, brine rinse and backwash cycles

of regeneration, HARD water goes through the soft- ener valve and to the house pipes. If a faucet is opened, hard water is there for your needs. Howev- er, you should not use hot water, if possible, because the water heater will refill with hard water. The soft-

ener, as factory programmed, regenerates from 2:00 AM to about 4:00 AM, a time when not much water is used.

If you start your day earlier in the morning (prior ro 4:00 AM), you may want to change the recharge

starting time. Set the recharge time to 12:00 AM or

1:00 AM (page 1-4). Then regeneration will start

and end that much earlier and your water heater will not refill with hard water if a hot faucet is

opened.

ELECTRONICS

Two main parts of the softener's electronics are [] a WATER METER, and [] a COMPUTER.

[] WATER METER-- The water meter is in the soft- ener valve outlet. As water flows through the meter,

it sends electric pulses to the computer. The com-

puter changes the pulses to a measure in gallons of water.

[] COMPUTER -- The computer is part of the

faceplate timer circuit board. It is programmed to

know the softener's capacity (how many grains of

hardness minerals it will take out of the water before

a regeneration is needed). When starting the soften- er, page 1- 4, you set it for the grains per gallon (gpg)

hardness of the water.

"lb find a regeneration pattern best for your needs,

the computer uses: (1) water usage from the meter,

(2) hardness setting, (3) softener capacity, and (4)

time since the last regeneration. The computer

always adjusts this pattern to your water using

habits. It works toward providing you with soft water for the longest time and at the most efficient salt usage.

Softening capacity is used as hard water goes

through the softener and hardness minerals are

removed. When the computer determines that only enough capacity remains to provide soft water up to

the next regeneration starting time (2:00 AM, or as

otherwise set) it will schedule a regeneration.

RECHARGE TONIGHT displays until the

regeneration begins. When the regeneration begins,

RECHARGE TONIGHT goes off and RECHARGE NOW flashes during the regeneration.
