_CLEAN:
This feature
is beneficial
on water
sup-
plies containing
iron and/or
high amounts
of sedi-
ments
(sand,
silt, dirt, etc.). When
set to ON, a back-
wash
and fast rinse
cycle will occur first, preceeding
the normal
regeneration
sequence
(see page
2-4).
This provides
extra
cleaning
of the resin
bed before
it is regenerated
with the salt brine. To conserve
wa-
ter, if your
water
supply
does
not contain
iron or
sediments,
be sure this feature
is set to OFF.
