DEMAND TIMER FEATURES, SETTINGS, AND SERVICE, continued
REGENERATION (START) TIME: At the 2:00AM
regeneration start time, the softener begins regen-
erations at that time, ending no later than 4:00AM.
This is a good time in most households because wa-
ter is not in use (see Automatic Bypass on page 14).
If a different time would be better for your needs, do
steps 1, 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 to change the starting hour.
MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATIONS:
The default setting allows the timer to control regen-
eration frequency based on water usage readings
from the water meter. It provides the most economi-
cal operation. You can set a maximum time (in days)
between regenerations. For example, no more than
3 days will pass without a regeneration occurring if
you set dY 3 in the display. A 1 to 15 day setting is
available. To make a change from the default set-
ting, do steps 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10.
EFFICIENCY MODE: When this feature is ON, the
unit will operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of
hardness per pound of salt or higher. (May recharge
more often using smaller salt dosage and less wa-
ter). When this is ON the efficiency icon
in the lower right hand corner of the display. To make
a change from the default setting, do steps 1, 2, 4,
5, 6, 8 and 10.
CALIFORNIA EFFICIENCY REQUIREMENT
Your water softener has a "High Efficiency" feature
with an "ON" or "OFF" setting. This softener setting
is shipped in the "OFF" position, which utilizes the
maximum rated capacity while most often achieving
maximum salt efficiencies. When installing this unit
in the State of California, you MUST turn this setting
to the "ON" position which may initiate more
frequent recharges, however it will operate at 4000
grains per pound of salt or higher.
If you wish to turn the Salt Efficiency feature "ON"
( icon will show in display), follow the instructions
on this page.
HEAVY DUTY BACKWASH: When set to ON, the
backwash cycle of regeneration will be 10 minutes
long instead of the normal 7 minute length. This is
beneficial on some water supplies high in iron or
sediment content. To conserve water, on clean sup-
plies, be sure OFF shows. To change this setting, do
steps 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 10.
SET 97% FEATURE: By setting to On, unit will auto-
matically recharge when 97% capacity has been
used, at any time of day. To change this setting, do
steps 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 and 10.
