5. If you wish to turn the salt monitor off, press the SET
LOW SALT LIGHT button until OFF shows above.
NOTE: Your salt monitor is an estimate of your salt
level; accuracy depends on the type of salt used
and other regeneration characteristics.
ADDING SALT TO STORAGE TANK
The Salt Monitor System will turn the low salt light on to
warn you when to refill with salt. Check for a low salt
light a few weeks after you install the softener, and
every week after that. Add salt at about the #2 salt
monitor level. At this level, the tank is about 1/3 full.
Never let the softener use all the salt before refilling.
Without salt, you will soon have hard water. After filling,
reset the Salt Monitor System.
Note: You will have a loss in softening capacity and
may get partly hard water if less than 10 inches
(salt monitor level 2) of salt is in the storage tank.

EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (recharge)
may be desired, or needed. Two examples are:
• You have used more water than usual (guests visiting)
and you may run out of soft water before the next timer
started regeneration.
• You did not refill the softener with salt before it was
gone. Add salt to the softener before regenerating.
You can start a regeneration right away, or you can set
the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or other pre-
set recharge time).
RECHARGE NOW
Press the REGENERATION button and hold until
*RECHARGE, Serv and Fill begin to flash in the display.
Upon reaching fill, the first cycle of regeneration, the
flashing Serv goes off and Fill is on steady. RECHARGE
continues to flash. This regeneration will last for about 2
hours. After the 2 hours, you will have soft water again.
* NOTE: If the CLEAN feature is set to ON, a cleaning
backwash (CLEAN and Bkwsh or Rinse flashes in
the display, along with the minutes of the clean
cycle remaining) precedes the recharge.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
Press and release (do not hold) the REGENERATION
button. RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes in the display,
and the softener begins regeneration at the next preset
recharge time. Press and release the REGENERATION
button once more if you decide to cancel the regenera-
tion, and RECHARGE TONIGHT will not flash in the dis-
play.
SALT MONITOR SYSTEM
The face plate timer has a low salt monitor with an indi-
cator light to remind you to add salt to the storage tank.
To set this monitor system:
1. Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the storage
tank.
2. The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the tank,
has numbers from 0 to 8 (see drawing below).
Observe the number the leveled salt is at or closest to.
3. Now, press the RESET SALT LEVEL button until black
bars display up to the salt level number. For example,
the figure shows the salt level at 6.
4. Finally, set the level you want the low salt indicator
light to come on. Press the SET LOW SALT LIGHT
button until a (*) shows opposite this number. In the
example, the light will come on when the stored salt
drops to level 2. At level 2, the storage tank is about
1/3 full. This is the lowest you should allow the stored
salt level to drop to.
