HOW TO "FliNE=TUNE" YOUR
It's not hard to "fine-tune" your softener (See
page 14), but it does take a few minutes of your
time to do it right. You may save up to 500
pounds or more or salt each year with proper
tuning. Read the following carefully.
To have soft water all the time, the softener
must regenerate 1 or more times in each 6 day
period. How many times to regenerate (set on
the time dial) and the salt saver setting to use
depends on 2 things.
1.The number of people in your home-tellsyou
how much water is used
2. The grains per gallon (GPG) hardness of your
water supply -- listed on your water analysis
report .... see page 4.
The softener regenerates with salt (brine - see
page 15)_ The pounds of salt needed each regen-
eration is set on the salt saver valve The salt
saver on your softener is set for_
.....4.7 Ibs - Model No. 625340400 Capacity 40
._5_7 Ibs_ - Model No_ 625_340500 High Cap. 50
.....7.2 Ibs.- Model No. 625..340700 Ex High Cap. 70
This setting gives you soft water for the longest
time before the next regeneration is needed.
However, you will get more gallons of soft water
for each pound of salt used if the softener is re-
generated more often at a lower salt saver set-
ting. Over a period of time, a lower salt setting
will save you salt, and money_
