" Maximum Days Between Regenerations -
default is zero days: The faceplate timer automati-
cally controls regeneration frequency (see page
14). Thisprovides the greatest operating efficiency,
and normally the maximum days feature is not
needed. If you want to be certain a regeneration will
occur within a number of days, use this feature. For
example, if your water supply contains iron and you
wantthe softenerto regenerateat least once everyfew
days to keep the resin bed clean, set the display as
typically shown below. Setting is available from 1 to
15 days by using the UP and DOWN buttons.
NOTE:
Setting a number in this display may override the
function of the water meter and timer computer (see
page 15). For example, assume the meter/computer
would initiate softener regenerations every 6 or 7
days. If you have max days set to 4, as shown below,
regenerations will occur every 4 days instead of
every 6 or 7.

" CLEANfeature minutes - default is 7 minutes:
If you have set this feature to ON (page7), the length
of the extra backwash cycle automatically sets to 7
minutes. However, you canadjust this time from 1 to
15 minutes in length. If you have a minimum of iron
or sediments, a 3 or 4 minute clean cycle may be
enough to keep the resin bed clean. If you have a
higher amount of iron or sediments, a setting of over
7 minutes may be needed. To change this cycle time,
use the UP buttonto increase the time, or the DOWN
button to shorten the time.
