It is not hard to fine-tune your softener, but it does take a few minutes of your time to do it right.
Read the following carefully.
To have soft water all the time, the softener must regenerate, or recharge a certain number of
times in each seven day period. How many times to regenerate (set the timer) depends on three
things:
The number of people in your home tells you how much water is used.
The grains per gallon (GPG) hardness of your water supply.
NOTE:
If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it by adding to the water hardness
number.
For example, assume your water is 15 gpg hard and contains 2 ppm iron. Add 5 to
the
hardness number for each 1 ppm of iron thus, making the example water hardness number 25 .
15 gpg hardness
2 ppm iron x 5 = 10 +10
(times) 25 HARDNESS NUMBER
How much salt used in each regeneration is determined by the length of the fill cycle. See
the
Regeneration Chart
section.
