 c - UnIT caPacITY: 

 In the first column, identify the 

section

 containing your softener tank size and then within this 

section, find the 

row

 pertaining to your 

H - compensated Hardness

 level. Then look under the 

c - capacity

 column 

to find the most efficient program value to enter for your 

c - Unit capacity

 and record it 

in the table on page 2.

 

note that your unit capacity program value may actually be lower than the tank’s rated capacity.

 This is to 

accommodate a lower salt dose for regeneration.

6) 

 BF - BrIne FIll: 

 

In the first column, identify the 

section

 containing your softener tank size and then within this 

section, find the 

row

 pertaining to your

 H - compensated Hardness

 level. Then look under the 

BF - Brine Fill

 column 

to find the most efficient program value to enter for your 

BF - Brine Fill

 and record it 

in the table on page 2.

 

7) 

 example: 

 If you ordered a 64K grain capacity system and have 28 gpg compensated hardness, you would look under 

the 64K, 2.0 cu ft section and then look under the 25+ gpg row for your particular programming values. Note that the 
11x11” and the 15x17” brine tanks are too small for the amount of brine needed to regenerate a 64K grain capacity system 
with 25+ gpg hardness. According to the table you would opt for an 18” diameter brine tank with a grid plus 6” legs
