3. SETTING THE RECHARGE TIME (see Fig3)
To operate effectively, your water softener needs to regenerate periodically (dependent
on the hardness of the supply and amount of water used). The default time of day when
this is to occur is 2.00am. To alter this setting use the keys.
Pressing the key once enters the recharge time and moves the display into Set Salt
Type Mode.
4. SETTING THE TYPE OF SALT USED (see Fig4)
To operate effectively, your water softener must be set to the type of salt you intend to use
in the system. Block salt (BS) and care cubes (CC) are suitable. Use the keys to
select the type of salt used.
5. Charge Bar
Having set the display on the control facia, you will notice that during normal operation
there is a charge bar running along the bottom of the display. This charge bar shows the
percentage of water softener capacity remaining since the last regeneration. Immediately
following a regeneration, the charge bar returns to 100%.
8. Flow indicator
During normal operation, a flow indicator will flash on the display at a rate of one litre per
pulse when water is passing through the softener.
9. Cleaning
Your water softener may be cleaned using a damp cloth and a mild detergent. Do not use
bleaches, solvents or spirits as they may damage the surfaces.
