SALT SAVER
When this feature is ON, the water softener

recharge more often using smaller salt dosage
and less water). The softener is shipped with this
feature set OFF.

Saver Feature ON. This may initiate more frequent
recharges. However, it will operate at 4,000 grains
per pound of salt.
To turn Salt Saver ON: Press the
Salt Saver button once until the
