HOW YOUR WATER SOFTENER WORKS
I
2A. FACEPLATE TIMER FEATURES
EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (re-
charge) may be desired, or needed• Two examples
are:
--You have used more water than usual (guests
visiting) and you may run out of soft water before the
next timer started regeneration.
--You did not refill the softener with salt before it was
gone.
You can start a regeneration right away, or you can set
the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or other
preset recharge time). Do the following•

SALT MONITOR SYSTEM
The faceplate timer has a low salt monitor with an
indicator light to remind you to refill the storage tank
with salt. To set this monitor system:
1. Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the
storage tank (press tank light button to light inside
of tank).
o
The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the
tank, has numbers from 0 to 8 (see drawing on
page 9 and below)• Observe the number the
leveled salt is at or closest to.
3.
Now, press the SALT LEVEL ADJUST button until
black bars display up to the salt level number. For
example, the pictures below show the salt level at
6.
4.
Hnally, set the level you want the low salt indicator
light to come on. Press the SIGNAL LIGHT ADJUST
button until a (÷) shows opposite this number. In
the example below, the light will come on when
the stored salt drops to level 2. At level 2, the
storage tank is about 1/3 full. This is the lowest you
should allow the stored salt level to drop to. To
turn the salt monitor off, press the button until
OFF shows.
