Customizing Features / Options
SET SALT LEVEL
The water softener has a salt monitor indicator light to
remind you to add salt to the storage tank.
NOTE: You must set salt level each time salt is added
to the water softener.
To set this monitor system:
1. Lift the salt lid and level the salt in the storage tank.
2. The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the
tank, has numbers from 0 to 8. Observe the high-
est number the leveled salt is at, or closest to.
3. Press the SET SALT LEVEL button until black
ovals correspond to the salt level number (See
Figure 32). At level 2 or below, the "Check Salt
Level" LED indicator will flash.
If you want to turn the salt monitor off, press the SET
SALT LEVEL button until "SALT LEVEL OFF" shows
in the display (See Figure 33).
POWER OUTAGE MEMORY
If electrical power to the water softener is lost, "mem-
ory'' built into the timer circuitry will keep all settings
for several hours. While the power is out, the display
is blank and the water softener will not regenerate.
When electrical power is restored, the following will
occur:
Reset the present time only if the display is flashing.
The HARDNESS and RECHARGE TIME never
require resetting unless a change is desired. Even if
the clock is incorrect after a long power outage, the
softener operates as it should to keep your water soft.
However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time
of day until you reset the clock to the correct time of
day.
NOTE: If the water softener was regenerating when
power was lost, it will now finish the cycle.

WATER FLOW INDICATOR
Whenever the softener has water flowing from the
outlet port, the display will show water droplets scroll-
ing down the right hand side of the screen (See
Figure 34). The faster the water flow, the faster the
droplets will flash.
Droplets indicate water
flow through softener
SALT EFFICIENCY
When this feature is ON, the water softener will oper-
ate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per
pound of salt or higher (May recharge more often
using smaller salt dosage and less water). The sof-
tener is shipped with this feature set OFF.
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the
screen in Figure 35 is displayed. Once in this dis-
play, press the PROGRAM button once and one of
the two displays in Figure 36 is shown.
2. Press the UP or
OFF. When set to ON, the efficiency icon will be
displayed in the lower left hand corner of the nor-
mal run display.

3. Press the PROGRAM button five times to return to
the normal run display.
In the state of California: You must turn the Salt
Efficiency Feature ON. This may initiate more
frequent recharges. However, it will operate at
4,000 grains per pound of salt or higher.
