So I just need to adjust those two factors in my programming and I’m off to the races??
Only H. The days estimate is not programmed in.
For H, you don't need to go to the Master Programming Mode. You get to the User Programming Mode as you would the master, but you don't set the time to 12:01 pm.
Also, do you recommend trying 6 lbs salt instead of 8 initially with these new settings?
I see I was computing for 5 people, which is not yet there. With shorter forecast time between regens, it may be that the higher setting gets another day out of it. You could observe your usage to see which works better. At 6 lb/cuft the forecast is 2.78 days, and with 8 lb/cuft it is 3.33 days. So if your usage happened to be 300 gallons per day, that would be the difference between 2 days and 3 days.
If I compute for 4 people, using 240 gallons per day, the respective numbers are 3.47 and 4.17 (which would mean 3 or 4 days).
If you are expecting guests the next day, you might trigger a regen to happen earlier than it would have.
