No other settings are needed after installing your water softener. The softener is factory set to regenerate
every Monday, Wednesday and Saturday (beginning at 2:00 AM). For most families, this gives enough soft
water for their needs. However, if you want the softener to regenerate at a different time, or on different
days, or to set for the most efficiency, see About the Water Softener System section.

Fig. 7
present time of day at 3:30 PM,
