MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN REGENERA-
TIONS
The water softener automatically controls regenera-
tion frequency. This provides the greatest operating
efficiency and, under most conditions, this feature
should be left in this automatic mode. However, you
may modify this feature if you want to force a regen-
eration every set number of days. For example, if
your water supply contains clear water iron, you may
want the softener to regenerate every few days to
keep the resin bed clean. The maximum days
between recharges may be set from 1 to 15 days, as
follows:
NOTE: The softener will recharge on its own if need-
ed, even if it is before the set number of days.
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the
screen in Figure 27 is displayed. Once in this dis-
play, press the PROGRAM button four times and

2. Press the r UP or s DOWN buttons to set the
number of days.
12 OR 24 HOUR CLOCK
All time displays are shown in standard clock time (1
to 12 AM; and 1 to 12 PM) at the 12 hour default set-
ting. If 24 hour clock displays are desired, follow
steps below:
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the

This feature is beneficial on water supplies containing
ferrous (clear water) iron. The default setting is OFF.
When this feature is set to ON, an additional back-
wash and fast rinse cycle will occur first, preceding
the normal regeneration sequence. This provides
extra cleaning of the resin bed before it is regenerat-
ed with the salt brine. To conserve water set this fea-
ture OFF if your water supply does not contain iron or
sediments.
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the
screen in Figure 27 is displayed. Once in this dis-
play, press the PROGRAM button twice and one of
