*This setting requires the use of “XS” (extra salt) cam and doubles the amount of
the setting.
The amount of salt placed in the brine tank has nothing to do with the amount of
salt used during the regeneration cycle. Water will dissolve and absorb salt only
until it becomes saturated. A given amount of brine (salt-saturated water) contains
a specific amount of salt. The salt dial controls the amount of brine used during
the regeneration cycle (e.g., when set at 15 pounds (6.8 kg) the amount of brine
the conditioner will use for each regeneration will contain 15 pounds (6.8 kg) of
salt, etc.)
Never let the amount of salt in the brine tank be lower than the normal liquid level.
Do not overload the brine tank with salt.
Guest Cycle (Manual Regeneration)
When abnormally high water usage exhausts your water conditioner’s capacity
ahead of schedule, an extra regeneration can be achieved. Depress the indicator
knob on the 440i (Figure 11) with a wide-blade screwdriver and turn
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to START to initiate a regeneration. For the 460i, simply
depress the indicator knob (Figure 12). It will take a few minutes for regeneration
to start. A normal regeneration will take approximately two hours.
