The following tables show the estimated salt amount for each setting, as well as the estimated capacity of that
salt setting for each resin amount.
Media Volume Salt Setting Total Salt Amount per Regeneration (lbs)
1.0 L (Low) 3.5
S (Standard) 9
H (High) 15
1.5 L (Low) 5
S (Standard) 13.5
H (High) 22.5

L = Low salt, approximately 3.3 lbs. per cu. ft. of media
S = Standard salt, approximately 9 lbs. per cu. ft. of media
H = High salt, approximately 15 lbs. per cu. ft. of media
To program the salt amount, press the SET button to enter the change mode. The L default will begin to fl ash. Use
the UP and DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the three settings. Press the SET button to enter the amount.
• Capacity
The controller is designed to estimate capacity of the system by multiplying the initial resin/media volume by the
regenerant amount programmed in under “Amount of regenerant used per regeneration.”
An estimated total system capacity is displayed in kilograins (kilograms CaCO
3
) that could be removed by the
fully regenerated media bed. This value is derived by standard water treatment industry norms. The sys-
tem capacity is displayed merely for the installers reference when determining regeneration frequency.
NOTE: Capacity is the result of the amount of media in the tank and the salt setting. The default capacity
will be changed by selecting a different salt setting.
• Hardness setting
The hardness setting is set in grains per gallon (CaCO
3
). The hardness is divided into the total capacity setting,
giving a total volume of water that can be conditioned before a regeneration is needed. To set, press SET when
P8 is displayed, and use the UP or DOWN buttons to increment. Press SET again to accept the setting.
