MAXIMUM DAYS BETWEEN
REGENERATIONS
The water softener automatically controls
regeneration frequency. This provides the greatest
operating efficiency and, under most conditions, this
feature should be left in this automatic mode.
However, you may modify this feature if you want to
force a regeneration every set number of days. For
example, if your water supply contains clear water
iron, you may want the softener to regenerate every
few days to keep the resin bed clean. The maximum
days between recharges may be set from 1 to 15
days, as follows:
