SET THE WATER HARDNESS

The display will flash ’25 hardness’ (this is a pre-set factory setting). 

Hardness varies from one location to another. Use the kit provided to 

determine your water hardness in ppm. If necessary change to the unit 

setting indicated.

USING THE HARD WATER TEST KIT

Fill the vial with 10ml of water. Add a drop at a time of the blue solution 

and mix each time. It will react with hard water and turn pink. Count 

each drop until the water turns blue. Multiply the number of drops by 

20 for the PPM. Use the table to convert to unit setting.

To increase or decrease the displayed number to your required setting use 

the   or   buttons.

Once the required setting is displayed it may be set by pushing the 

SELECT

 button once more.
