SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER
1. Press the PROGRAM button once again to display
a flashing "25" and the word "HARDNESS".
2. Press the UP or
water's hardness number.
NOTE: If your water supply contains iron, compen-
sate 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 +10
(times)
NOTE: If you use potassium chloride (KCl) salt
instead of sodium chloride (NaCl) salt in this
softener, increase the hardness setting by
25%. For example, if you will be using KCl
and your water supply's hardness is 20 gpg,
set the softener to 25 gpg.
