Salt Setting
The Salt Setting refers to the total amount of salt, in
pounds, that the control uses during a regeneration of
the resin bed. The amount of salt used in a regenera-
tion determines the amount of water that the condi-
tioner softens between regenerations. If this setting is
changed, it may be necessary to change the Capacity
Setting as well. Refer to Table2 for SALT and
CAPAC-ITY information.
Complete the following steps to change the Hardness
Setting:
1. Press the down arrow
ò
button until the green
light next to the SALT legend is on. The display
shows a number with a zero or a five to the right
of the decimal point. No other number can be
entered in this position. The setting range is (0.1
to 25.5 kilograms for metric).
2. Press the
SET
button and the minute number on
the display starts flashing. If you want to change
this number, press the up
ñ

the number or the down arrow

3. When the number is correct, press the left arrow
ï
