  • Regeneration cycle will be completed when there is no salt taste in the water.

General Instructions: Use your water quality test strips to check the water hardness of the water source to predict capacity of the unit.  Use your water quality test strips to check outlet stream to determine when to perform the next regeneration cycle or use calendar regenerated method as described above.  During regeneration process only discharge water (containing salt and mineral concentration) into a drain.
