PLUMBING SYSTEM CLEAN UP
WATER HEATER
If the water heater has been exposed to both iron and hardness for a long period of time, replacement of the heater tank maybe the only practical
solution to prevent continued staining originating from this source. After completing the installation of the softener, clean the water heater by
following these instructions;
1.
Turn the energy supply to the water heater OFF and shut the heater inlet water valve OFF.
2.
Drain hot water tank completely. OPEN the Inlet Water Valve allowing the heater tank to be refilled with iron free water.
Continue flushing until clear water runs to the drain.
3.
If, after 30 minutes flushing, the water does NOT clear, terminate flushing operation.
4.
REFILL hot water heater with water and pour approximately .5 gal or [ .19 Litres] of household bleach into the top of the
heater tank. Allow bleach solution to stand in tank for thirty (30) minutes. Flush tank.
5.
Turn the energy supply back ON.
DISHWASHER
Dishwashers may have scale buildup due to prolonged exposure to hard water effecting the factory rated performance.
Consult the owner’s handbook and follow the manufacturer’s instructions.
TOILET FLUSH TANKS
To clean up toilet flush tanks:
1.
Pour 4 to 6 fluid ounces [120-175 millilitres] of resin mineral cleaner, Pro-Rust Out or any other suitable cleaner that contains
a mild acid, such as CLR, into flush tanks and bowls, and let stand for one (1) hour.
2.
When installation is completed, flush toilets several times with conditioned water.
3.
If stains or deposits return, check that the lines are connected to treated water.
