hardness Hardness in water is the amount of calcium and magnesium present. A water softener removes the majority of calcium and magnesium to produce softened water. Hardness is measured in units of grains per gallon. When your water is tested the hardness is calculated and expressed as grains per gallon (gpg).
(All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes) Water Pressure: A minimum of 25 pounds of water pressure (psi) is required for regeneration. Maximum 125 psi. Water Quality: On rural water supplies there is often a problem with sand or sediment in the water.
(All electrical & plumbing should be done in accordance to all local codes) • Do not use vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicon lubricant may be used on black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on red or clear lip seals.
prOGraMMinG General information The H125 control valve is the “brain” of your water softener. It consists of the valve body and powerhead with solid state microprocessor. The display panel (see Figure 7) consists of the LCD display and five push buttons which are used in displaying and program- ming the water softener settings.

Manual regeneration Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system, sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as manual regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day. To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, press and release “REGEN”.

Anytime cycle sequence is modified, softener set-up will revert to manufacturer setting and must be reprogrammed as desired. Cycle Sequence instructions allows the operator to set the order of the cycle. The Softener System Setup allows the operator to set how long the cycles will last.

The materials of construction of your water softener will not support bacterial growth nor will these materials contaminate a water supply. However, the normal conditions existing dur- ing shipping, storage, and installation indicate the advisability of disinfecting a softener after installation, before the softener is used to treat potable water.
