Step 7: In the calculations you have done (determining regeneration frequency) you
found the value for (N) - maximum time between regeneration in days. To set the
skipper wheel up as required, pull all the skipper wheel pins (Fig. 5) out.
Turn the dial to the correct day of the week on which you are setting the dial. Now
depress the pins for the desired day/s for regeneration/s required. If no data is
available to do the calculations at this stage then set regeneration for every
second day.
When setting the regeneration frequency you should take into account the
working days, for instance if the installation will only work week days,
regeneration on Friday and Monday would be a needless waste of salt. Always
set in accordance with the duty conditions for maximum economy.
NOTE : This is only a guide for initial setting and should be altered to suit each individual
installation in accordance with load conditions - do the calculations in determining
frequency of regeneration, it will help you in understanding the softener.
