2. Salt Dosage
From Table 3, select the salt dosage at which the softener will be operated.
• Low Setting — Maximum salt efficiency, more frequent regeneration, reduced overall softening capacity.
• Medium Setting — Good combination of efficiency and overall softening capacity.
• High Setting — Maximum softening capacity, less frequent regeneration, and reduced salt efficiency.
Recommended whenever iron is present and for hardness levels above 30 Grains Per Gallon, or high volume
water usage.

3. Treated Water Volume Set Point
Calculate the treated water volume set point using the following information:
• Softening capacity — Grains (based upon salt dosage setting).
• Compensated hardness of water supply — Grains Per Gallon
• Estimated daily water usage — Gallons Per Day (refer to Table 4)
