previous step. 

STEP 6S

 – Set Gallons Capacity using Down or Up buttons:

 

•   “AUTO” (reserve capacity automatically estimated and gallons capacity au to mat i cal ly 

calculated from grains capacity and water hardness);

 

•   “oFF” (regeneration based on day override); or 

 

•   number of gallons (20 to 50,000). 

See Setting Options Table for more detail. Press NEXT to go to Step 7S. Press REGEN to 
return to previous step.

regenerant piston, and stack are being used, and that the injector or injector plug(s) are in 
the correct locations. 

Press NEXT to go to Step 9S. Press REGEN to return to previous step. 

STEP 9S

 – Set Regeneration Time Option using Down or Up buttons: 

 

•   “NORMAL” means regeneration will occur at the preset time;

 

•   “on 0” means regeneration will occur immediately when the gallons capacity reaches 

0 (zero); or

 

•   “ on 0” means regeneration will occur at one of the following:

 

•  the preset time when the gallons capacity falls below the reserve or the spec i fi ed 

number of days between regenerations is reached which ev er comes fi rst; or

 

•  after 10 minutes of no water usage when the gallon capacity reaches 0 (zero).

See Setting Options Table for more detail. Press NEXT to exit OEM Softener System Setup.
