Programming Your E-Z Touch Water Softener
SET IRON LEVEL
The softener’s electronic control can adjust cycle
times to compensate for ferrous (clear water) iron in
the water. When the softener’s electronic control is
first powered up, the iron level is set at 0.
NOTE: The iron level will always be displayed in ppm
(parts per million), regardless of whether the
Hardness units setting is grains or ppm. The
conversion factor is 3 grains per ppm of clear
water iron.
To enter your water’s iron level:
1. Press the SETUP button on the softener status
screen (See Figure 45).

the screen shown in Figure 48.
