SET PRESENT TIME OF DAY
If the words PRESENT TIME do not show in the display,
press the SELECT button until they do show in the display.
Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the present time.
Press UP to move the display ahead; press DOWN to move
the time backward. If the present time is between noon and

midnight and noon, be sure AM shows. Each press of the UP

Holding the buttons in changes the time 32 minutes each

SET WATER HARDNESS NUMBER
To set the water hardness number, complete the following
steps:
1. Press the SELECT button once to display 25 (flashing)
and HARDNESS. The grains per gallon (gpg) hardness of
your water supply is on your water analysis report. Be sure
to enter water test results on the Facts & Figure Chart on
page 3.
2. If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it by
adding to the water hardness number. For example,
assume your water is 20 gpg hard and contains 2 ppm
iron. Add 5 to the hardness number for each I ppm of iron.
In this example, you would use 30 for your hardness num-
ber.
2 ppm iron x 5 = 10
20 gpg hardness
+10
30 HARDNESS NUMBER
3. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set your water hard-
ness number in the display. The DOWN button moves the
display to 1. The UP button moves the display to the high-
est setting (see maximum setting for your model in the
specifications).
NOTE: Each press of the UP or DOWN button changes
the display by 1 between 1 and 25. Between 25 and the
highest number, the display changes 5 at a time (25,
30, 35, etc.) Holding the UP or DOWN button in
changes the display twice each second.

lowing steps:

regeneration (see pages 26 - 28) at 2:00 AM. This is a
good time in most households because water is not being
used. If a different recharge time setting would be better
for your household, complete the following step.
