4A. HOW TO "FINE-TUNE" YOUR SOFTENER
i................
It is not hard to fine-tune your softener, but it does
take a few minutes of your time to do it righL You
may save up to 500 pounds or more of salt each year
with proper tuning° Read the following carefully.
To have soft water all the time, the softener must
regenerate, or recharge a certain number of times in
each 7 day period How many times to regenerate
(set on the timer) depends on 3 things.
1. The number of people in your' home -- tells you
how much water is used.
2. The grains per gallon (GPG) hardness of your
water supply -- listed on your water analysis
report .... see page 2 in your Installation Manual,
or page 2 of this manual.
NOTE:
If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it
by adding to the water hardness number. For ex-
ample, assume your water is 15 gpg hard and con-
tains 2 ppm iron° Add5 to the hardness number for
each I ppm of#on. In this example, you would use
25 for your hardness number.
15 gpg hardness
2ppmiron x 5=10
(times) 25 HARDNESS NUMBER
3. How much salt is used each regeneration --
determined by the length of the fill cycle o. osee
pages 19 and 2&
REGENERATION TABLE: The table (page 20)
makes it easy for you to pick the best regeneration
and fill time setting to use.
Step 1 -- Go down the side of the table, to the
number of persons in your family, or the number of
people in the house using water.
Step 2 -- Across the top of the table, find the col-
umn listing the grains per gallon hardness of your
water.
Step 3 -- Read across and down the table fo find [
the point where steps 1 and 2 meet. At this meeting
I
point, suggested days to regenerate, and fill cycle
minutes needed are shown_ _-----4_
