Programming your PENTAIR OM34K OMNIFILTER High Efficiency Twin Tank Softener is straightforward. Here's a step-by-step guide:
-
Set the Current Time:
- Start with the controller displaying 0 hours. Press the 'Time' button repeatedly until the correct hour (0-23) appears on the display.
-
Schedule the Recharge Time:
- The softener is set to recharge at 2:00 AM (02 on the display) by default. To change this, adjust the clock to your preferred recharge time.
-
Select Salt Setting:
- Press the 'Salt' button to see the current setting (HC or HE).
- Press the 'Salt' button again within 5 seconds to switch between:
- HC (High Capacity): Best for hard water or high water usage.
- HE (High Efficiency): Designed to minimize salt usage, ideal for softer water or lower water consumption.
-
Input Water Hardness:
- Press the 'Hardness' button to show the current setting.
- Press the button again within 5 seconds to adjust the hardness in increments of 1 grain per gallon. Holding the button allows for faster adjustment.
-
Finalize Settings:
- Once you've set the time, salt setting, and water hardness, your programming is complete.
Important Considerations:
- The controller will initiate a recharge if one hasn't occurred in the last 7 days.
- Ensure the softener is plugged into a constant power source (non-switched outlet) for uninterrupted operation.
