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.
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the
screen in Figure 21 is displayed. Once in this dis-
play, press the PROGRAM button two times and
the display in Figure 24 is shown.
2. Press the UP or
number of days.
3. Press the PROGRAM button twice to return to the
normal time of day screen.
