[]SALT EFFICIENCY: 0 When this feature is ON,
the unit will operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains
of hardness per pound of salt or higher. (May re-
charge more often using smaller salt dosage and less
water). For installations in the state of California,
you must turn the Salt Efficiency Feature setting to
ON.

CLEAN
[]CLEAN: This feature is beneficial on water sup-
plies containing iron and/or high amounts of sedi-
ments (sand, silt, dirt, etc.). When set to ON, a back-
wash and fast rinse cycle will occur first, preceeding
the normal regeneration sequence (see page 2-4).
This provides extra cleaning of the resin bed before
it is regenerated with the salt brine. To conserve wa-
ter set this feature OFF if your water supply does
not contain iron or sediments. Default for UltraSoft
425 is OFF, default for UltraSoft 480 is ON.

[]Maximum days between regenerations: The face-
plate timer automatically controls regeneration fre-
quency (see page 2-6). This provides the greatest
operating efficiency, and under most conditions,
this feature will be left in its default mode. Howev-
er, modify this feature if you want to force a regen-
eration every set number of days. For example, if
your water supply contains iron and you want the
softener to regenerate at least once every few days
to keep the resin bed clean, set the display as typical-
ly shown above. Setting is available from 1 to 15
days by using the UP and DOWN buttons.
7. Press SELECT i to return the present time display.
