The first step is to determine the hardness and pH of your well or city
water.
A. Use the hardness test strips if provided with your appliance
or have a sample of your untreated water tested by a water
testing laboratory or your water treatment specialist.
1. Test Strips—Follow the instructions on the test strips. If
the color on your test strip is between two readings, use
the higher number. This number gives the hardness in grains
per gallon and parts per million (mg/L).
2. If the pH is below seven, contact your water treatment
specialist.

After setting water hardness, the display on the controller typically shows the
gallons (or litres) of soft water remaining until the next automatic regeneration. Typically, each person in the
household uses about 75 gallons (284 L) per day.

During regeneration the controller display shows regeneration cycle positions.

The (R) button at the bottom-left of the controller can be used in two ways.
1. The (R) button can be used to put the appliance into an immediate regeneration.
a. Press and hold the (R) button for about five seconds until the display changes to "Going to 1".
b. The appliance is in regeneration mode and will display the status of each cycle. After all regeneration
cycles are complete, the display will return to normal operating mode.
2. The (R) button can be used to toggle through all of the regeneration cycles to speed up the cycles.
a. Speeding up the cycle is used only when starting up or diagnosing the appliance.
b. To quickly advance through the regeneration cycles, press and hold the (R) button for 5 seconds.
c. Wait for the cycle to begin. The controller will indicate "Going to", then the cycle position will
display (for example, Backwash 1).
d. Each cycle can be advanced by pressing the (R) button.
e. Always wait until the cycle position displays before advancing to the next cycle position.
Out of Salt
Should your appliance run out of salt, you might not have soft water available.
A. Open the salt port lid and add salt.
B. Wait two hours, then press and hold the (R) button for 2 to 5 seconds.
C. Regeneration is complete after approximately 12 to 18 minutes. After regeneration the appliance is returned
to Service mode.
