SALT PER REGEN AND CAPACITY (CONT.)
NOTE: Both SALT PER REGEN and CAPACITY inputs
must be based on the SYSTEM CAPACITY INPUTS
CHART.
How to determine correct salt dosage and
capacity:
The correct salt dosage and capacity are determined
based on the family size and water hardness. Use the
following procedure and example:
• Daily Water Usage = number of persons in
household x 80 gallons
For a family of 3
Daily Water Usage = 3 x 80 = 240 gallons/day
• Water Hardness – have the water tested or call
your local water company. For this example, 20
grains is assumed.
• Calculate total grains used per day =
gallons/day x hardness = grains/day
240 gallons/day x 20 grains = 4,800 grains/day
• Water softener should be set to regenerate every
5 days.
Req Capacity = 5 days x 4,800 grains/day = 24,000
• Use SYSTEM CAPACITY INPUT table to select
capacity and determine lbs of salt per regeneration.
For GNPR40 use setting at 24,000 grains.
• Program the control:
Capacity: 24,000 grains
Lbs of Salt: 7.0
If water supply has a high level of sediment or iron,
set system to regenerate every 3 days:
• Use the UP or DOWN button to select SALT
PER REGEN.
• Press the SET button.
• Use the UP , DOWN and LEFT buttons to
select SALT PER REGEN amount.
• Press the SET button to accept.
• Use the UP or DOWN button to select
CAPACITY.
• Press the SET button.
• Use the UP , DOWN and LEFT buttons to
select correct capacity.
• Press the SET button to accept.
