  1. Set the time of day on your Peerless water softener: Locate the red "Set" button to the left of the "24-Hour" gear on the water softener control console. Press it. Then rotate the 24-Hour gear to the right until the "Time of Day" indicator below the "Manual Regeneration" knob shows the desired time.

  2. Set the water softener's "Program" wheel based on the number of people in your home. Lift the "People" dial located to the right of the 24-Hour gear and the Manual Regeneration knob. Rotate the dial so that the number of household occupants is aligned with the "Grains Per Gallon Water Hardness Scale" indicator.

  3. Regenerate your water softener's valve manually by rotating the Manual Regeneration knob. Turn the knob clockwise until the Manual Regeneration indicator to the left of the knob reads "Regen."

Tips

The reserve capacity for your water softener is based on 75 gallons per person.

Warnings

Peerless water softener programming instructions may vary by water softener model. Contact Peerless directly to obtain model-specific programming instructions, if necessary.
