2. SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER:

Press the SELECT keypad once to display 25 (flash-
ing) and HARDNESS.
Set the grains per gallon
hardness of your water sup-
ply (determined by water
analysis or call your local
water department).
NOTE: If your water supply contains iron, compen-
sate for it by adding to the water hardness number.
For example, assume your water is 15 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 25 for your hardness number.
2 ppm iron x 5 = 10 +10
(times)
Press the (↑) UP/DOWN (↓) keypads to set your wa-
ter hardness number in the display. The DOWN key-
pad moves the display to 1. The UP keypad moves
the display to the highest setting (see maximum set-
ting for your model in the specifications).
NOTE: Each press of the UP/DOWN keypad
changes the display by 1 between 1 and 25. Be-
tween 25 and the highest number, the display
changes 5 at a time 25, 30, 35, etc. Continuous pres-
