DATA DISPLAYS
With repeated presses of the DATA button, you can ob -
tain operational information about your water softener.
Capacity
(remaining)
This is the percentage of
water softening capacity
remaining. Immediately
after a regeneration, 100%
shows. Then, as water is
used, the percentage
decreases until the next
regeneration. During
regenerations, the percen -
tage increments upward.
Flow Rate, GPM*
When using soft water,
this display shows the gal-
lons per minute flow rate
passing through the sof-
tener. Zero shows if water
is not in use.
Gallons* Today
Each day, beginning at
midnight, the timer keeps
a running count of the
total gallons of water
passing through the sof-
tener.
Average Daily
Gallons*
The figure displayed is the
average gallons of water
used by the household
each day, over the past
seven day period.
*You can change the units displayed from gallons to
liters, or vice versa, as described on page 14. If gal-
lons today, or average daily gallons exceeds 1999, a
(x 10) indicator appears. This means you must mul-
tiply the number shown times 10.
SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME
1. Press the SET button and hold for three seconds,
until a flashing "2:00AM" and the words
"RECHARGE TIME" are displayed. This is a good
time for the recharge to start in most households,
because water is not in use.

2. If you want to change the recharge start time,
press the UP (È) or DOWN (–) buttons until the
desired time shows. Be sure AM or PM is correct.
3. Press the SET button five times to return to the
normal run display (See Fig. 19).
VACATION NOTE
North Star demand water softeners, as set at the fac-

tory, recharge only while water is being used and soft-
ening capacity must be restored. For this reason, the
softener will not recharge when you are away from
home for extended periods. However, if you set the
"Maximum Days Between Recharges" feature, the
softener will regenerate even when no water is used.
MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGENERA-
TIONS
FIG. 24
The water softener automatically controls regenera-
tion frequency. This provides the greatest operating
efficiency and, under most conditions, this feature
should be left in this automatic mode. However, you
may modify this feature if you want to force a regen-
eration every set number of days. For example, if
your water supply contains clear water iron, you may
want the softener to regenerate every few days to
keep the resin bed clean. The maximum days
between recharges may be set from 1 to 15 days, as
follows:
NOTE: The softener will recharge on its own if need-
