- Setting the Regeneration Schedule -
1. Locate the skipper wheel just to the right of the manual regeneration knob. (See Figure 1.)
2. Rotate skipper wheel until the red pointer covers the number "1".
NOTE:
The red pointer represents tonight in the regeneration program. (See Figure 1.)
3. Select the capacity chart (beginning on page 8) that corresponds with the capacity of the softener.
4. Select the salt setting to be used and use this section of the capacity chart.
NOTE:
Salt settings are pre-set at the factory for the maximum shown on the capacity chart. If an economy salt setting is
desired, contact factory.
WARNING:
Do not reduce salt settings below 9 lbs. as the water level in the brine tank will not reach the grid plate.
5. Follow along the line indicating the number of persons in the family to the column that corresponds with the hardness
range. This will indicate how many tabs on the skipper wheel will need to be slid out. (See Figure 2.)
NOTE:
If the water contains iron and / or manganese, multiply the total parts per million (ppm) by four (4) and then add to
the grains per gallon (gpg) of hardness. Use this COMPENSATED HARDNESS level when programming the
regeneration frequency.
6. Next, find the regeneration schedule chart. Follow along the line corresponding with the number found in the capacity
chart. These are the actual tab numbers on the skipper wheel that need slid out exposing the tab end. (See Figure 3.)
