Water softeners are water treatment systems that use sodium ions to replace the calcium and magnesium ions found in hard, mineral rich water. The resulting "softened" water is cleaner and less likely to leave soap scum or scale residue on your dishes or home surfaces. The Clack Corp. manufactures residential and commercial water treatment systems. Programming a new Clack water softener takes only minutes. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Set the clock on your Clack water softener. Press the "Set Clock" button on the control panel; the time will display and the hour digits will begin to flash. Set the hours digits using the "Up Arrow" and "Down Arrow" buttons. Press "Next" when the desired value is displayed; the minutes digits will begin to flash. Adjust the minute digits to the desired value using the "Up Arrow" and "Down Arrow" buttons. Press the "Next" button again to exit the clock setting mode.
2. Press and hold the "Down Arrow" and "Next" buttons for three seconds; the "Set" and "Softening" messages will appear on the digital display screen. Press either of the arrow buttons to highlight the "Softening" option; press "Next."
3. Refer to the grains of hardness as calcium carbonate information on your water test data sheet when setting the ion exchange capacity for your Clack water softener. Adjust the ion exchange capacity using the "Up Arrow" and "Down Arrow" buttons until the desired value is shown on the digital display screen. Press "Next."
4. Program in the amount of salt that you want your water soften to use for each regeneration; refer to your water test data sheet. Use the "Up Arrow" and "Down Arrow" buttons to adjust the pounds per regeneration indicator until the desired value is displayed. Press the "Next" button to advance to the next setting screen.
5. Program the backwash and gallons capacity settings for your water softener. Use the "Up Arrow" or "Down Arrow" buttons to highlight the "Normal" or "Longer" backwash options; press the "Next" button. Use the arrow buttons to highlight the "Auto" option on the display screen; the gallons capacity for the water softener will be automatically calculated based on the grains capacity and water hardness settings. Press "Next."
6. Tell the water softener when to refill the brine tank. Choose between "PoST" to refill the tank after the final rinse or "PrE" to refill the tank two hours before the scheduled regeneration time. Highlight the desired option using the "Up Arrow" and "Down Arrow" buttons, then press "Next."
7. Program the water softener to know when to regenerate. Use the "Up Arrow" and "Down Arrow" buttons to highlight the "Normal + 0" option; the water softener will be programmed to regenerate automatically, based on its other settings. Press "Next" to exit the water softener setup mode.
