Ensure you have tested and obtained your local
water hardness setting following section 3.8 of this
manual prior to changing the hardness setting of
your softener
2.2 Standard factory settings
Your softener has been supplied preset with most
of the information it needs to perform correctly. For
simplicity the softener has been set to operate at
an inlet water hardness of 300 parts per million
(ppm) of hardness minerals in the supply water
and to carry out automatic regeneration of the ion
exchange media at 2:00am local time. However
in order to get the best performance from your
softener it is important for you to set the correct
local time and actual water hardness of your
supply (using the hardness test kit supplied). This
will ensure that the softener calculates the correc t
metered water capacity of your softener in order
to regenerate at the best possible time and most
efcient frequency.
On rst powering up the softener the digits of the
display will ash while the valve rotates to service
position. The valve can be heard moving and this
can take a few minutes. On locating service position
the display will prompt the installer to set the time
and the water hardness. You will also have the
opportunity to adjust the 2:00am regeneration time
if required.
Once these settings have been input your softener
will calculate the correct softened water capacity
for your needs and start metering your water usage
in order to only regenerate, and use salt, when
absolutely necessary and in the correct amount.
You just need to make sure that you put some salt
(BWT tablet salt is recommended) into the salt
cabinet at the front of your softener, set the time
and supply water hardness and your softener will
do all of the work for you to provide luxury water as
needed.
Go to section 2.3 to set the time and hardness
settings.
