Programming the
Water Softener
NOTE: If your water supply contains iron, compensate
for it by adding to the water hardness number.
For example, assume your water is 20 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 30 for your
hardness number.
2 ppm iron x 5 = 10 +10
(times)
NOTE: If you use potassium chloride (KCl) salt
instead of sodium chloride (NaCl) salt in this
softener, increase the hardness setting by
25%. For example, if you will be using KCl
and your water supply's hardness is 20 gpg,
set the softener to 25 gpg.
SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME
1. Press the PROGRAM button once again to display
a flashing 2:00 AM and the words "RECHARGE
TIME". 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,
s
press the
UP or
desired time shows. Be sure AM or PM is correct.
3. Press the PROGRAM button once again, to return
to the normal time of day display.
START A RECHARGE
1. Press the RECHARGE button and hold for three
seconds, until "RECHARGE" begins to flash in the
display, starting a recharge. This recharge draws
the sanitizing bleach into and through the water
softener. Any air remaining in the water softener is
purged to the drain. During this time, periodically
check for leaks.
NOTE: As with all other water system applications,
leaks may occur. Leaks may not be
immediately apparent. Recheck for leaks 24
hours after the first recharge cycle is complete.

RECHARGE NOW
The RECHARGE button is used to initiate an
immediate recharge.
1. Press and hold the RECHARGE button until the
words "RECHARGE NOW" flash in the display.
RECHARGE NOW initiated
The softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration right
away. "RECHARGE NOW" will flash during the
regeneration. When completed, full water conditioning
capacity is restored. While water softener is running
a recharge, the time remaining until the recharge is
completed will show in the display during all cycles
except for the Fill cycle.
NOTE: Avoid using hot water while the softener is
regenerating, because the water heater will
refill with bypass hard water.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
If you do not want to start an immediate recharge, but
would like to schedule an extra recharge at the next
preset recharge time, do the following:
1. Press and release (do not hold) the RECHARGE
button.
RECHARGE TONIGHT initiated
The words "RECHARGE TONIGHT" flash in the
display and the softener will recharge at the next
recharge time. The words "RECHARGE NOW" will
flash during the regeneration. When completed, full
water conditioning capacity is restored.
