PROGRAMMING

Plug in the control. Un-programmed controls will have the
following settings .
Default settings:
• Hardness - 25 grains per gallon
• Salt setting - HC, High capacity
• System will recharge every 7 days (calendar override)
even if no water is used. Unplug system for long
periods of no water usage. Calendar override is not
programmable .
To change settings
1 . Set hour of day - The controller starts (defaults) with 0
hours as the time . To change the hour of the day press
until the desired hour appears in the display . Minutes will
not be shown . Any elapsed minutes after the displayed hour
will be reset to zero when the hours is changed . The range
of hours is 0-23 .
A . Time of recharge - The softener will recharge when the
controller reaches 2:00 AM (02 is displayed). If this time
is acceptable then the controller should be set for the
correct hour of the day . If you want the recharge to start
at some other time then change the clock setting.
B. Recharge sooner - Set the clock ahead by the number
of hours needed. Advancing the hours by two will cause
the recharge to start at midnight .
C . Recharge later - Set the clock back by the number of
hours needed. Backing up the hours by two will cause
the recharge to start at 4:00 AM (04 is displayed).

2 . Pick the salt setting - If you had your water tested, the
hardness is described as grains per gallon . Use this
number to help select the HC or HE setting . The controller
starts (defaults) with the HC (high capacity) setting. If you
want to check or change the setting, press the Salt Amount
button to display the current setting. To change it, press
the Salt Amount button again within 5 seconds . The setting
will be saved after 5 seconds.
HC this setting maximizes the system capacity between
recharges and will also use the most salt . This setting can
be used if you have high water hardness (26 grains per
gallon) or high water usage. Example: 3 or more people
and/or more than 26 grains per gallon.
HE this setting minimizes salt used for a recharge (uses
the least amount of salt) and provides the least amount of
water between recharges . This setting can be used if you
have low water hardness (13 grains per gallon) or low water
usage. Example: 2 people or less and/or less than
20 grains per gallon .

3 . Enter the hardness of the water - The controller starts
(defaults) at a hardness of 25 grains per gallon. Check your
water for the actual hardness . Press the Water Hardness
button to display the current settings . To change the
setting press the button again within 5 seconds . To rapidly
increase the setting push and hold the Water Hardness
button. Release the button and the setting will be saved
after 5 seconds . A hardness setting too high will cause the
system to recharge more often than needed and use more
salt and water than what is needed to soften your water . A
hardness setting too low will cause the system to recharge
less often . The system may pass hard water shortly before
it recharges .

Programming is complete.
NOTE: During programming if a button is not pushed
for 5 seconds, the control returns to the normal
operation mode and displays the hour of day.
