SET RECHARGE (REGENERATION) TIME

1. Press the PROGRAM button once again to display

a flashing “2:00AM” and the words “RECHARGE

TIME”. This is a good time for the recharge to start

in most households, because water is not in use.

FIG. 18

2. If you want to change the recharge start time,

press the r UP or s DOWN buttons until the

desired time shows. Be sure AM or PM is correct.

SET SALT TYPE

1. Press the PROGRAM button once again to display

a flashing “nACL”.

FIG. 19

Salt Type allows you to choose between sodium chlo-

ride (NaCl), which is regular softener salt, or potassi-

um chloride (KCl), which is an alternative to sodium

chloride. KCl (potassium chloride) may be used if the

user of the water softener is on a sodium restricted

diet and is concerned about the amount of sodium in

the water supply.

KCl should be used in accordance with the following

steps to help give you years of maintenance free

service.

Place only one bag at a time of KCl into your softener

(the salt storage tank should contain no more than 60

pounds of KCl at any one time).

NOTE: A softener using KCl should not be located in

areas with high temperature changes or high

humidity (KCl may harden in these environ-

ments and make the softener inoperable).

2. Check the brine tank and brinewell (black tube in

salt storage tank) monthly. If hardening is present,

pour small amounts of warm water on hardened

areas until they loosen.

3. Be sure to set the correct salt type, depending on

which type of salt is used (NaCl or KCl). Use the

r UP or s DOWN buttons to toggle between

NaCl and KCl, then press the PROGRAM button to

enter the selection.

4. Press the PROGRAM button once again to return

to normal operating display.

START A RECHARGE

1. Press the RECHARGE button and hold for three

seconds, until “RECHARGE” begins to flash in the

display, starting a recharge. This recharge draws

the sanitizing bleach into and through the water

softener. Any air remaining in the water softener is

purged to the drain. During this time, periodically

check for leaks.

NOTE: As with all other water system applications,

leaks may occur. Leaks may not be immedi-

ately apparent. Recheck for leaks 24 hours

after first recharge cycle is complete.
