Maximum Days Between Regenerations
The water softener automatically controls regeneration frequency. This provides the greatest operating
efficiency, and under most conditions, this feature should be left in this mode. However, modify this
feature if you want to force a regeneration every set number of days. For example, if your water supply
contains iron and you want the softener to regenerate at least once every few days to keep the resin
bed clean, set the display as shown below. Setting is available from 1 to 15 days by using the UP and
DOWN buttons.
NOTE: The softener will recharge on its own if needed, even if it is before the set number of
days.
1. Press and hold the PROGRAM button until the following screen is displayed.
Once in this display, press the PROGRAM button four times and following display is shown.
This is the automatic (default) setting.
2. Press the ^^ Up or V Down buttons to set number of days.
