Adjustment of Brine Control
The amount of salt placed into the regenerant storage
tank has nothing to do with the amount of salt used
during the regeneration cycle. Water will dissolve and
absorb salt only until it becomes saturated. A given
amount of brine (salt-saturated water) contains a
specific amount of salt.
The salt dial controls the amount of brine used during
the regeneration cycle, e.g., when set at 15 lbs. (6.8 kg)
the amount of brine the conditioner will use for each
cycle will contain 15 lbs. (6.8 kg) of salt. Never let the
amount of salt in the brine tank be less than the amount
required for the next regeneration.
Refer to the Suggested Salt Dial Settings Table
(Table 1) for proper salt settings. To set the salt dial,
insert a screwdriver into the slot (Figure 13) and move
the pointer to the proper setting.
Note: To convert the salt settings from English to
metric, divide by 2.2 (e.g., 12 pounds
÷ 2.2 = 5.5 kg. of
salt).

*This setting requires the use of “XS” (extra salt) cam and doubles the amount of the setting.
