OPTIONAL CONTROL SETTINGS
The controller display has several options and features.
LOW SALT ALARM
The
LOW SALT ALARM
, when enabled, will
sound the beeper
when the
DAYS
TO EMPTY
value is
15 days or less. To
change this setting,
press and hold the
MODE/SET
button for
3 seconds or until you hear a beep. ON (factory
default) or OFF will flash in the display. Press
the UP
or DOWN
buttons to toggle
this feature ON or OFF. Press the
MODE/SET
button to accept, and the display will move to
SALT EFFICIENCY
.
SALT EFFICIENCY
When the
SALT EFFICIENCY
feature is ON,
the unit will operate
at a salt efficiency
of 4000 grains of
hardness removed
per pound of salt. This
mode of operation
is the most efficient setting for salt usage,
because the system will tend to recharge more
often, with less salt usage. Turning the feature
OFF will tend to lengthen the time between
recharge cycles, which will provide the most
efficient usage of water, but may use more salt.
The degree of difference between these two
cycles is highly dependent on the water usage
and hardness at a particular installation.
NOTE:
California Regulations require this
feature to be ON for installations in California.
To access the Salt Efficiency,
press and
hold the
MODE/SET
button for 3 seconds. The
System Diagnostics display will appear.
Press the
MODE/SET
button again and the Salt
Efficiency display will appear.
To change the setting, press the UP
or
DOWN
buttons to toggle the feature ON or
OFF. Press the
MODE/SET
button to accept.
RESETTING TO FACTORY DEFAULT
To reset the electronic controller to its factory
default for all settings (time, hardness, etc.):
1. Press the
MODE/SET
button and hold
until the display changes twice to show the
flashing mode code.
2. Press the UP
button to display a flashing
“SoS”.
3. Press the
MODE/SET
button and the
electronic controller will restart.
4. Set the present time, hardness, etc, as

Softener section.
