Customizing Features / Options
SET SALT LEVEL
The water softener has a salt monitor indicator light to
remind you to add salt to the storage tank.
NOTE: You must set salt level each time salt is added
to the water softener.
To set this monitor system:
1. Lift the salt lid and level the salt in the storage tank.
2. The salt level scale, on the brinewell inside the
tank, has numbers from 0 to 8. Observe the high-
est number the leveled salt is at, or closest to.
3. Press the SET SALT LEVEL button until black
ovals correspond to the salt level number (See
Figure 22). At level 2 or below, the "Check Salt
Level" LED indicator will flash.

SALT EFFICIENCY
When this feature is ON, the water softener will oper-
ate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness per
pound of salt or higher (May recharge more often
using smaller salt dosage and less water). The sof-
tener is shipped with this feature set OFF.
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the
screen in Figure 24 is displayed. Once in this dis-
play, press the PROGRAM button once and one of
the two displays in Figure 25 is shown.
2. Press the
OFF. When set to ON, the efficiency icon will be
displayed in the lower left hand corner of the nor-
mal run display.
3. Press the PROGRAM button five times to return to
the normal run display.
In the state of California: You must turn the Salt
Efficiency Feature ON. This may initiate more
frequent recharges. However, it will operate at
4,000 grains per pound of salt or higher.
CLEAN / CLEAR WATER IRON REDUCTION
FIG. 22
This feature is beneficial on water supplies containing
ferrous (clear water) iron. The default setting is OFF.
When this feature is set to ON, an additional back-
wash and fast rinse cycle will occur first, preceding
the normal regeneration sequence. This provides
extra cleaning of the resin bed before it is regenerat-
ed with the salt brine. To conserve water set this fea-
ture OFF if your water supply does not contain iron or
sediments.
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the
FIG. 23
screen in Figure 26 is displayed. Once in this dis-
play, press the PROGRAM button twice and one of
the two displays in Figure 27 is shown.
2. Press the
OFF.
