Guest Cycle
When abnormally high water usage exhausts your
water conditioner’s capacity ahead of schedule, an
extra regeneration can be achieved by depressing the
pointer knob with a wide blade screwdriver and turning
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to START (Figure 8). It will
take a few minutes for regeneration to start. Normal
regeneration schedule will not be disrupted.
Manual Regeneration
Electricity is used only to run the timer and to rotate the
camshaft. All other functions are operated by water
pressure. Therefore, in the event of a power outage, all
the regeneration positions may be dialed manually by
depressing the pointer knob and turning COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE (Figure 8). Manual time cycle: BACK-
WASH-14 minutes; BRINE/SLOW RINSE- 52 minutes;
FAST RINSE/REFILL-10 minutes. Do not exceed 10
minutes for the FAST RINSE/REFILL cycle as this will
cause excessive salt usage during the next regenera-
tion and possibly a salt residue in the softened water.
Adjustment of Brine Control
All models may be adjusted to produce maximum to
minimum conditioning capacities by setting the salt dial
(Figure 9) which controls the amount of salt used per
regeneration. When desired, the minimum setting may
be used on installations if the frequency of regeneration
is increased to compensate for the lower regenerated
conditioning capacity. Your installing dealer will set
your unit for proper salt usage. Further adjustments are
needed only if water supply changes or if water use
changes dramatically.
How to Set Salt Dial
Insert screwdriver into slot of salt dial and move the
pointer knob to proper salt setting (Figure 9).
Note: Using a screwdriver in the salt dial and turning
the dial against one of the stops allows an easy means
to assemble or disassemble the brine control from the
valve. Reset the window to the desired LBS (of) SALT
after service and reinstallation are complete.
Note: To convert salt dial settings from English to Metric,
divide by 2.2 (e.g., 12 pounds ÷ 2.2 = 5.5 kg of salt).
The amount of salt placed into the regenerant storage
tank has nothing to do with the amount of salt used
during regeneration. 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 regeneration. (e.g. when set at 15 lbs. [6.8 kg]
The amount of brine the conditioner will use for each
regeneration will contain 15 lbs. [6.8 kg] of salt, etc.).
Never let the amount of salt in the salt storage tank be
lower than the normal liquid level.
