CLEANSING FEATURE
The cleansing feature keeps larger particles of sedi-
ment from entering the home's plumbing system. As
water passes through the softener, the larger sedi-
ment particles are collected in the integrated basket
and then rinsed to the drain before each regenera-
tion. The cleansing feature provides added protection
for water using appliances by reducing the chance of
larger particles entering the various products valves
and screens. The "Clean Feature" may be turned ON
to provide an extra backwash that will help keep the
cleansing screen clean. The default is OFF.
IMPORTANT: The cleansing feature is not intended to
replace pretreatment filtration. For
problem water applications, additional
sediment filtration is recommended.

MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGENERA-
TIONS
The water conditioner automatically controls regener-
ation 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 regeneration every set number of days. For
example, if your water supply contains clear water
iron, you may want the conditioner 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 conditioner will recharge on its own if need-
ed, even if it is before the set number of days.
