ELECTRONICS

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 hotwater, 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.

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.

To 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.

625.38815, 625.38816 specifications

The Kenmore 625.38816 and 625.38815 are two innovative models of air purifiers that showcase Kenmore’s commitment to providing clean air solutions for homes. These models are engineered to enhance indoor air quality by effectively capturing and eliminating airborne pollutants, allergens, and odors.

One of the standout features of the Kenmore 625.38816 and 625.38815 is their advanced multi-stage filtration system. Both models utilize a HEPA filter that is capable of capturing particles as small as 0.3 microns, which includes dust, pollen, pet dander, and smoke. This feature is particularly beneficial for allergy sufferers and those with respiratory issues, as it significantly reduces the presence of irritants in the air.

In addition to the HEPA filter, these models are equipped with activated carbon filters that target and neutralize household odors, such as cooking smells and pet odors. This dual filtration approach ensures not only cleaner air but also a fresher living environment.

Both the Kenmore 625.38816 and 625.38815 boast a user-friendly digital display that allows for easy monitoring and control of air quality. The intuitive interface enables users to adjust fan speeds, set timers, and check filter replacement indicators with ease. The air purifiers also feature an automatic mode that adjusts fan speed based on the air quality detected through integrated sensors, providing optimal performance without constant manual intervention.

Another key characteristic of these models is their quiet operation. They are designed to run quietly, making them suitable for use in bedrooms and living spaces without causing disturbances. This silent performance does not compromise their effectiveness, and users can enjoy cleaner air while maintaining a peaceful environment.

Energy efficiency is an important consideration for any home appliance, and the Kenmore 625.38816 and 625.38815 models are no exception. Both units are ENERGY STAR certified, ensuring that they consume minimal energy while providing powerful air purification.

In conclusion, the Kenmore 625.38816 and 625.38815 air purifiers stand out for their robust filtration capabilities, user-friendly features, silent operation, and energy-efficient design. They represent a practical solution for anyone seeking to improve indoor air quality, making them a valuable addition to any home.
