This feature is beneficial on water supplies containing

ferrous (clear water) iron. The default setting is OFF.

When this feature is set to ON, an additional back-

wash and fast rinse cycle will occur first, preceding

the normal regeneration sequence. This provides

extra cleaning of the resin bed before it is regenerat-

ed with the salt brine. To conserve water set this fea-

ture OFF if your water supply does not contain iron or

sediments.

. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the

screen in Figure 24 is displayed. Once in this dis-

play, press the PROGRAM button twice and one of
