MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGENERATIONS

The water softener automatically controls regeneration frequency. This provides the greatest operating
efficiency and, under most conditions, this feature should be left in this automatic mode. However, you
may modify this feature if you want to force a regeneration every set number of days. For example, if
your water supply contains clear water iron, you may want the softener to regenerate every few days to
keep the resin bed clean. The maximum days between recharges may be set from I to 15 days, as
follows:
NOTE: The softener will recharge on its own if needed, even if it is before the set number of days.
Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the

Routine Maintenance

ADDING SALT

Lift the salt lid and check the salt storage level frequently. If the water softener uses all the salt before
you refill it, you will experience hard water. Until you have established a refilling routine, check the salt
every two or three weeks. Always add if less than 1/4 full. Be sure the brinewell cover is on.
NOTE: If using potassium chloride (KCl), do not fill
above level 4 on the brinewell scale.
