MAINTENANCE
ADDING SALT
Use only crystal water softener salt. Check the salt level monthly. It is important to main-tain the salt level above the water level. To add salt, simply
lift the salt lid and add the salt directly into the brine tank. Be sure the brine well cover is on and fill only to the height of the brine well.
BRIDGING
Humidity or wrong type of salt may create a cavity between the water and the salt. This ac-tion, known as “bridging”, prevents the brine solution
from being made, leading to your wa-ter supply being hard. If you suspect salt bridging, carefully pound on the outside of the brine tank or pour
some warm water over the salt to break up the bridge. This should al-ways be followed up by allowing the unit to use up any remaining salt and
then thoroughly cleaning out the brine tank. Allow four hours to produce a brine solution, then manually re-generate the softener.
CARE OF YOUR SYSTEM
To retain the attractive appearance of your new water softener, clean occasionally with mild soap solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia
or solvents. Never subject your sof-tener to freezing or to temperatures above 100°F.
RESIN CLEANER
An approved resin cleaner must be used on a regular basis if your water supply contains iron. The amount of resin cleaner and frequency of use is
determined by the quantity of iron in your water (consult your local representative or follow the directions on the resin cleaner package).
