Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi Assembly
A clean nozzle and venturi is needed for the water softening system to work properly.
This small unit makes the
suction to move brine from the salt storage area to the resin tank during regeneration. If it becomes plugged
with sand, dirt, etc., the water softening system will not work and you will get hard water.
To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the water softening system top cover. Be sure the water softening
system is in service cycle (no water pressure at nozzle and venturi). Then, while holding the nozzle and
venturi housing with one hand, remove the cap. Lift out the screen support and screen, then the nozzle
and venturi. Wash and rinse the parts in warm water until clean. If needed, use a small brush to remove
iron or dirt. Also check and clean the gasket.
NOTE:
Some models have a small flow plug located in the nozzle and venturi, and/or a small cone shaped
screen in the housing. Be sure to check and clean these parts, if your model is so equipped.
Carefully replace all parts in the correct order. Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal with clean silicone grease or
petroleum jelly and place in position.
Install and tighten the cap, by hand only. Do not over-tighten the cap.
IMPORTANT: Be sure small holes in the gasket are centered directly
over the small holes in the nozzle and venturi housing.
*Install with numbered side up, concave side down.
