SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER:
Q
Press the SELECT button once to display 15
(flashing) and HARDNESS. The hardness is
set in gpg. To recalculate from
∞
d or
∞
F
use
following conversion. 1gpg = 0.959
∞
d = 1.71
∞
F= 171 ppm
The grains per gallon (gpg)
hardness of your water supply is
on your water analysis report.
Be sure to enter water test results
on page 2, for future reference.
NOTE:
If your water supply contains iron, compensate
for it by adding to the water hardness number.
For example, assume your water is 15 gpg hard and
contains2 ppmiron. Add5 tothehardnessnumber for
each1 ppmof iron. In this example, you woulduse25
for your hardness number.
15 gpg hardness

25 HARDNESS NUMBER
Q
Press the UP/DOWN
buttons to set your
water hardness number in the display. The
DOWN button moves the display to 1. The UP
button moves the display to the highest setting
(see maximum setting for your model in the
specifications).
NOTE:
Each press of the UP/DOWN button changes the
display by 1 between 1 and 25. Between 25 and
the highest number, the display changes 5 at a
time
…
25, 30, 35, etc. Continuous pressure on the
UP or DOWN button changes the display twice

SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME:
Q
Press the SELECT button once to display
2:00 AM (flashing) and RECHARGE TIME.
At the 2:00 AM RECHARGE
TIME setting, the softener be-
gins regeneration (see pages 11
and 12) at 2:00 AM, ending no
later than 4:00 AM. This is a good time in most
households because water is not being used (see
AUTOMATIC BYPASS, page 14). If a different
RECHARGE TIME setting would be better for
your household, do the following.
Q
Press the
UP/DOWN
buttons to set the
desired RECHARGE starting hour. Be sure to
observe the AM-PM as you did when setting the
present time of day.

Press the SELECT button once again,
to
return the present time (steady) of day and
RECHARGE TONIGHT in the display.
