Are you wondering what the Clean feature does on your water softener? Read on below to find out!
What is it?
This feature is beneficial on water supplies containing ferrous (clear water) iron. The default setting is OFF. When the feature is set to ON, an additional backwash and fast rinse cycle will occur first, before the normal regeneration starts. This provides extra cleaning of the resin bed before it's regenerated with the salt brine. To conserve water, set this feature OFF if your water supply does not contain iron or sediments.
How to Turn the Clean Feature On (click here to expand directions)
1. Hold the Program button down until '000' appears, then let go.
2. Tap the Program button twice to display 'Clean' and 'OFF' on the screen. Use the Up or Down arrow to switch this 'ON'.
3. Tap the Program button again to chose the duration of the clean cycle using the Up/Down arrows. This can be set from 1 to 15 minutes. We recommend starting with lower first to increase efficiency and conserve water. You can increase this later if you feel necessary.
4. Continue tapping the Program button until you return to the home screen with the current time.
