NOTE: If Potassium is used to regenerate
the conditioner. It is recommended to in-
crease the salt dosage by 3 more pounds.
Also, keep the level of potassium low in
the brine tank to prevent bridging.
5. Manual Regeneration/Extra Cycle
In the case of power failure, the control can
be manually regenerated. Remove the cover
and turn the camshaft by hand COUNTER-
CLOCKWISE to each position according to
the cycle indicator. The following cycle times

USE AND CARE
A. Type of System
Your water softener is a fully automatic
Demand Initiated, metered system. This
means the softener meters, or keeps track
of, the water used in the home. It uses this
information to determine when to perform
the regeneration, or cleaning cycle. The
control of the softening process automatically
adjusts to your water use. For example, if you
have company and your water use increases
substantially, the softener will adjust to insure
you don't run out of soft water. If you go away
for a time and are not using any water in the
home, the softener will adjust again and not
perform a regeneration cycle thereby saving
salt and water.
B. Type of Salt
Basically, salt is salt. However, some makes
of salt contain more dirt in the bag than oth-
ers. We recommend Morton™ or Diamond
Crystal™ salt pellets, but any type will work.
Salt is readily available at Lowes.
C. Potassium Use
Potassium can also be used in the water
softener. When Potassium is used however,
the softener control valve will need to be
adjusted. Add 3 lbs. to the salt amount setting
i.e. salt amount = 5.2 lbs. + 3 for potassium =

should be used for proper regeneration:
BACKWASH – 14 minutes.
BRINE/SLOW RINSE – 52 minutes.
FAST RINSE/REFILL – 10 minutes.
Return cycle indicator to the REGENERA-
TION COMPLETE position. For an Extra
Cycle, simply push in the REGEN button.
This button is located on the front of the
control. It will take a few minutes for regenera-
tion to start. A normal regeneration will take
approximately two hours.

8.2 lbs. of salt. Also keep the level of potas-
sium in the brine tank low.
D. Amount of Salt or Potassium
We recommend keeping the level of salt in the
brine tank about half full for most households.
Larger households can start out with more.
Let the salt level drop down to the water level
before adding more salt. Potassium should be
kept as close to the water level as is practical
to help prevent a "salt bridge". Periodically you
may experience a salt bridge. A salt bridge
occurs when the salt forms a crust right at the
water level in the brine tank. The salt remains
suspended above the water and cannot make
the brine solution required for the regenera-
tion of the softener bed. If you do experience
a salt bridge, simply tap a broom handle down
in the salt to break up the bridge. Wait at least
1 hour, and then manually regenerate the
softener.
E. Cleaning the Brine Tank
Normally it is not necessary to clean the brine
tank. In time dirt and silt can build up in the
brine tank and if you choose you can clean it
out. Let the salt level drop down very low. The
night before you clean, manually regenerate
the softener. Disconnect the brine line and
dump out the old salt, (Do not dump the old
