CLEAN / CLEAR WATER IRON REDUCTION
This feature is beneficial on water supplies containing
ferrous (clear water) iron. The default setting is OFF.
When this feature is set to ON, an additional back-
wash and fast rinse cycle will occur first, preceding
the normal regeneration sequence. This provides
extra cleaning of the resin bed before it is regenerat-
ed with the salt brine. To conserve water set this fea-
ture OFF if your water supply does not contain iron or
sediments.

MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGENERA-
TIONS
The water softener automatically controls regenera-
tion 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 regen-
eration 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 1 to 15 days, as
follows:
NOTE: The softener will recharge on its own if need-
ed, even if it is before the set number of days.
