Programming your Softener
The tables on page 14 specify the necessary settings for your softener related
to the size of your family and the hardness of your water supply. The figures
given are based on eacll person in a family using an average of 160 litres (35
gallons) of water each day for washing, cooking, bathing and toilet
requirements. Individual households may find they use more or less water than
average and may therefore need to alter the settings accordingly.
TESTING YOUR WATER HARDNESS
Use your water hardness test kit, following the instructions carefully, to
measure the hardness of your water.
PROGRAMMING THE 825 MODEL

timer can be set to trigger your softener to regenerate everyone, two, three,
four, six or twelve days. The timer is set by sliding out the pins on wheel A in fig.
