Choose HIGH EFFICIENCY to minimize salt usage. Your system will regenerate
a little more often but your salt usage can be reduced by 20% compared to
the STANDARD setting. Choose STANDARD when you need to maximize your
capacity but still operate the system with good efficiency. Choose IRON & MN
if you have problem water containing these minerals. The high salt setting
will be needed since these minerals are more difficult to clean out of the
resin bed. Note: A resin cleaner will also need to periodically added to the
brine tank to insure proper operation.
WATER TYPE
This setting will determine if the BACKWASH OVERIDE function will be on
or off. Select MUNICIPAL if the water source is clean (<1NTU turbidity) and
the system will skip the back wash cycle based on the setting in BACKWASH
OVERIDE. Select WELL / OTHER if any Iron or Manganese is present or if the
water source is not clean (< 1NTU turbidity). The system will back wash
every time.
his setting determines the time of day to perform a scheduled regeneration.
