it by adding to the water hardness number. For ex-
ample, assume your water is 20 gpg hard and contains 2
ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness number for each 1 ppm
of iron. In this example, you would use 30for your hard-

zero, the average pounds of salt per recharge is reset
also.
PROGRAM MEMORY If electrical power to the
softener goes off, the time display is blank but the
face plate timer keeps the correct time for about 72
hours. When electrical power comes on again, you
have to reset the present time only if the Set Present
Time display is showing. The HARDNESS and RE-
CHARGE TIME never require resetting unless a
change is desired. Even if the timer is incorrect after
a long power outage, the softener works as it should
to keep your water soft. However, regenerations
may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset
the timer to the correct time of day.
