PROGRAMMING THE 2092 "DR" CONTROL VALVE
WARNING: ALWAYS TURN INDEXING KNOB
CLOCKWISE. OTHERWISE, DAMAGE TO THE
VALVE MAY RESULT AND VOID WARRANTY.
A. SET CURRENT TIME OF DAY
1) Plug unit into a 115 volt grounded outlet that is
independent from a wall switch or pull chain.
2) Set present time of day by depressing and holding
in black button on left side of indexing knob (Figure
A). Turn the large hour gear until the actual time of
day is opposite the time of day pointer, noting AM
and PM marking. The regeneration cycle is factory
set to occur at 2 AM.
If a different regeneration time is desired, set the time of
day on the large hour gear ahead or behind the actual
time of day to compensate.
3) Release the black button, making sure the large
hour gear is engaged.
B. SET HARDNESS LEVEL OF THE WATER
Based upon the average national water hardness level,
the valve has been factory pre-set. However, water
hardness will vary by location. For best efficiency, the
valve should be programmed to each specific installation.
If the water source to be treated is city water, call the
water department for the water hardness level. If the water
source is a private well; information concerning the mineral
content (Hardness) can be obtained by purchasing the
136958 mail-in test kit from your dealer. Return a sample
of untreated water in the bottle provided with the kit to
our laboratory. The water sample will be professionally
analyzed and the results of the analysis will be mailed to
you.
1) To program the water hardness level, locate the
stick people wheel (Figure B.)
2) With your thumb and forefinger, grasp the stick
people wheel. Pull the wheel outward and turn until
the number of people in your family matches the
water hardness level.
C. GENERAL INFORMATION
1) Once you have set the people and hardness, this
will automatically set the "White Dot" on the number
of gallons (hundreds of gallons) available as soft
water before the unit needs to regenerate.
2) As you use water in your home, the "White Dot" will
move to the left (counter-clockwise) and subtract
gallons from the available soft water gallons. This is
indicated by reading the "Blue Arrow". This
