LARGE HOUR GEAR
A. SET CURRENT TIME OF DAY
1) Plug unit into a 115 volt grounded outlet that is independent from a wall switch or pull chain. 2) Set present time of day by depressing and holding in red button on left side of indexing knob (Figure A). Turn the large hour gear until the actual time of day is opposite the time of day pointer, noting AM and PM marking. The regeneration cycle is factory set to occur at 2 AM. If a different regeneration time is desired, set the time of day on the large hour gear ahead or behind the actual time of day to compensate. 3) Release the red button, making sure the large hour gear is engaged.

B. SET HARDNESS LEVEL OF THE WATER
Based upon the average national water hardness level, the valve has been factory pre-set. However, water hardness will vary by location. For proper operation, the valve should be programmed to each specific installation. If the water source to be treated is city water, call the water department for the water hardness level. 1) To program the water hardness level, locate the stick people wheel (Figure B). 2) With your thumb and forefinger, grasp the stick people wheel. Pull the wheel outward and turn until the number of people in your family matches the water hardness level. NOTE: FOR WATER WITH RUST STAINS: If iron is present in the water supply as evidenced by red stains on clothes, fixtures, toilets, etc., add 12 grains per gallon to the actual water hardness. To keep the softener resin bed iron free, mix two ounces of Super Iron Out® or similar resin bed cleaner with every 40 lbs. of salt added to the brine compartment. WATER HARDNESS WHEEL

C. THE REGENERATION CYCLE
The regeneration cycle will take between 84 and 104 minutes, and will go through 8 different cycles. It will be normal to hear water flowing during this time. Water will be available for use during the regeneration process, but it will not be softened. Figure C shows approximate cycle time for each process.

CYCLE TIME
D. STARTING THE UNIT
1) To ensure unit is installed and working properly, briefly rotate the indexing knob clockwise through the following cycles: “Backwash”, “Brine Rinse”, and “Brine Refill” (about 60 seconds for each cycle.) While in each cycle, listen for water flow, and check system for any leaks. 2) Return indexing knob to “Service” position. Water flow should stop. The softener is now ready to provide softened water on demand. 3) The control valve will actually meter the water flow, and regenerate only after a specific amount of water has been used. Not only will you enjoy softened water, but you will enjoy the economical savings as well.
