If you have a mechanical meter valve, here are your
softener program settings.
If you have an SXT valve,
refer to page 4 for your programming values.
If not
all of the values to the right are filled in, you can
calcu-
late the missing values below AND with the exer-
cise on pages 6 and 7 of this guide.
The remaining
values that are already filled in are general standards for
all softener sizes and hardness levels.

The
GC - GALLON CAPACITY
equates
to the
C - UNIT CAPACITY
divided
by the
H - HARDNESS
minus
10% of the result (Ex: 64K tank / 28 gpg hardness =
2,286 gal; 2,286 gal - 229 = 2,057 gal capacity.
Unit Ca-
pacity and Hardness can be determined from pages
6 and 7
). If the result exceeds the highest number on
the dial, use the next smallest
Unit Capacity
listed on
the table on page 7
. With the front cover off of your
control valve and while looking at the panel on the left
side, pull out and rotate the dial and line up your gallon
capacity with the white dot (Figure 5-A).
Swing open the left panel with the capacity wheel to
the left to reveal the Program Wheel on the opposite
side of the panel (Figure 5-B). To set the regeneration
cycle times with the above input values, place the pins
in the slots surrounding the wheel.
Each slot/pin on
the Program Wheel represents 2 minutes during the
regeneration process.

The first
group
of pins represents the BW - Backwash
duration; 5 pins for 10 minutes (Figure 5-C).
2.
The next

represents the
BD - Brine Draw duration; 30 empty slots for 60 minutes.
3.
The next
group
of pins represents the RR - Rapid
Rinse duration; 6 pins for 12 minutes.
4.
The next
span
of empty slots represents the
BF - BRINE FILL

found on page 7.
If it calls
for an odd number of minutes, round up for the appro-
priate number of pins (Ex: 15 min 16 min 8 pins).
5.
The last
group
of 2 pins marks the end of regeneration.
