1. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the
hardness of your water supply, in grains per gallon.
The default is 25.
NOTE: If your water supply contains iron, compensate
for it by adding to the water hardness number.
For example, assume your water is 20 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 30 for your hardness number.
2 ppm iron x 5 = 10
(times)
If your water supply contains iron, it is recom-
mended that you clean your water softener resin
bed at least every 6 months. Your local Sears
store has Water Softener Cleaner (Part Number
34427) available.
2. When finished setting your water's hardness number,
press the SELECT button, and the display will change
to show the "Recharge Time" screen.
SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) START TIME
If you completed the previous step, the words "RE-
CHARGE TIME" should show in the display. Otherwise,
press the SELECT button several times until they do.
1. The softener's default recharge start time is 2:00 AM.
This is normally a time of day when water is not
being used in the household. Hard water bypasses
the softener if the household draws water during the
recharge cycle. If a different recharge start time is
r
desired, press the UP or
change the time, in 1-hour increments. Be sure AM or
PM is correct.
2. When the desired recharge start time is displayed,
press the SELECT button, and the display will change
to show one of the "Salt Type" screens shown in
Figure 20.
