DETERMINE FREQUENCY OF REGENERATION After locating and installing the brine tank in the required position, it is necessary to know whether a wet or dry salt system is being used. This is done by calculation as follows:- NOTE: Less salt is required to regenerate a partially exhausted bed per gram of hardness removed, than that required for a more exhausted bed.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The water softener, as supplied, has the brine riser pipe assembled to suit dry salt brine system. If, however, on reference to Table 5 you find that wet salt must be used, then wet salt brine rise pipe (short black pipe piece supplied) must be fitted to the brine valve.

Step 7: In the calculations you have done (determining regeneration frequency) you found the value for (N) - maximum time between regeneration in days. To set the skipper wheel up as required, pull all the skipper wheel pins (Fig. 5) out. Turn the dial to the correct day of the week on which you are setting the dial.
