How To Get The Maximum Efficiency From Your Appliance
1. Fill salt cabinet when water level is above salt level.
DO NOT MIX DIFFERENT TYPES OF SALT.
If iron is present in your water, use a salt with an iron-cleaning additive to help keep resin
clean. You may also use a resin cleaner on a monthly basis in place of salt with cleaning
additives. If iron is not present in your water, a clean pellet, solar or cube type salt is recom-
mended. The use of rock salt is not recommended because it contains impurities that can
plug up the injector assembly.
2. You may use a salt substitute (such as potassium chloride) in place of water conditioner
salt. If you start with water conditioner salt, you can switch to a salt substitute at any time -
or vice versa. If potassium chloride is used in place of nugget or pellet salt, increase your
hardness setting by 12% (multiply by 1.12). Do not use Potassium Chloride if there is iron in
your water.
3. Should your electricity be turned off for any reason you must reset the time of day if you
programmed your appliance for delayed regeneration.
4. Protect your appliance from freezing, including drain line.
5. By-pass the appliance when servicing the well, plumbing, or pump. When work is complet-
ed, turn on the nearest cold water tap until water runs clear before putting appliance back in
service. See figures 4 - 5 - 6.
6. Install after the pressure tank.
7. Your appliance may be disinfected with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, which is the active
ingredient in household bleach. To disinfect your appliance, add 4.0 fluid ounces of sodium
hypochlorite solution to the brine well of the brine tank (the brine tank should have water in it
to permit the solution to be carried into the appliance). Start a manual regeneration.

NOTE:
To maintain peak performance of your appliance, it is recommended that
you inspect and clean the brine tank and air check assembly annually or when
sediment is present in the brine tank.
