1. Press the f
UP or V
DOWN
buttons to set the
hardness of your water
supply, in grains per gallon.
The default
is 25.
NOTE: If your water supply contains iron, compensate
for it by adding
to the water
hardness number.
For example,
assume your water
is 20 gpg hard
and contains
2 ppm iron.
Add 5 to the hardness
number
for each 1 ppm of iron.
In this example,
you would
use 30 for your hardness number.
