OUT OF SALT IN (X) DAYS

This display, on both the conditioner/refiner and remote

status screens, is an 

estimate

of the number of days

until the conditioner/refiner will be out of salt.  This esti-

mate is based on salt level in the brine tank, salt dose

used, and average daily water use.  It is recalculated

when the conditioner/refiner regenerates, and the num-

ber of days may decrease, remain the same or even

increase at regeneration time (a drop in water use could

cause the estimated days left to increase).  Between

regenerations it will count down.

PHOTO CELL

To prolong battery life, the remote has a photo cell

above the display (See Figure 42).  This cell triggers

the display to “go to sleep” (turn off) when the ambient

light level stays low for 10 minutes.  The display will

immediately turn back on when the ambient light level is

increased.

NOTE:

The “Alert” LED (See Figure 42) will not “go to

sleep” if ambient light levels are low.
