-2:00AM; HaƗimum dags between regenerations-O (displag shows dY-); Efficiencgmode-ON; Heavg dutg
backwash -OFF. The defaults are suitable for most installations. However, depending on water supplg qualitg,
household peak water use hours, etc., adjustment is available to meet specific needs. To make a change, read
and do the following.
Regeneration (Start) Time: Atthe 2:00 AH regeneration start time, the water softening sgstem begins
regeneration at that time, ending at about 4:00 AH.This is a good time in most households because water is not
in use(seeAutomatic Hard Water BypassDuringRegenerationsection).If a different time would be better for gour
needs,do stepsZ,2,3,5,7,9 and 11 belowto changethe starting hour.
Maximum Days Between Regeneration: Thedefault setting (dY-)allows the timer to control regeneration
frequencg basedon water usage readingsfrom the water meteEIt providesthe most economical operation.
You can set a maximum time (indabs)between regenerations.Forexample, no more than three dabs will pass
without a regeneration occurring if gou set dY3 in the displag.A ! to 7 dab setting isavailable.To make a
change from the default setting, do steps Z,3,4,5,7,9 and !1 below.
