- Page 9 SECTION 3: REGENERATION INSTRUCTIONS INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING REGENERATION FREQUENCY SCHEDULES: (Time Clock Initiated Models Only) Determine ADJUSTED HARDNESS by adding three (3) times the iron content in parts per million (ppm) to the hardness in grains per gallon (gpg). The resulting number is ADJUSTED HARDNESS.

- Page 11 HOW TO SET METER GENERATION CONTROL: TYPICAL RESIDENTIAL APPLICATION: To program, just set the time, set the hardness and it automatically monitors system needs and regenerates only when necessary. To set time of day, press red time set button and turn 24-hour gear until present time of day is opposite “time of day arrow.” Set program wheel by lifting the “people” dial and rotating it so that the number of people in the household is aligned with the grains per gallon water hardness (adjusted hardness*) scale.

- Page 19 SECTION 7: MAINTENANCE REPLENISHMENT OF SALT SUPPLY: The salt storage capacity of the brine tank is approximately 160 lbs. During each regeneration a specifi c amount of salt is consumed, thus requiring its periodic replenishment (the frequency is dependent on the regeneration schedule). Always replenish salt before the supply is exhausted to assure a continuous supply of softened water.
