1. When the salt level drops below the water level in the brine cabinet fill the salt cabinet. You may use a resin
cleaner on a monthly basis. A clean pellet, solar, or cube-type salt is recommended. You can also use block or
brick salt.
Do not use rock salt.
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 salt, set your controller to salt type=potassium. Do not use potassium chloride if there is iron in
your water.
3. Your appliance may be disinfected with 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, which is the active ingredient in household
chlorine bleach. To disinfect your appliance, add 1.5 fluid ounces (0.04 litres) of chlorine bleach solution to the
brine cabinet. The brine cabinet should have water in it to carry the solution into the appliance. Start a manual
regeneration.
4. Should dirt, sand, or large particles be present in your water supply, it is important that you consult your water
treatment specialist for filters that will eliminate this problem.
5. Protect your appliance, including the drain line, from freezing.
6. Bypass the appliance if any work is being performed on your appliance, well pump, or plumbing. When work is
completed, turn on the nearest cold water tap until water runs clear before putting the appliance back in
service. See
Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures.
7. For your appliance to perform to specifications, adhere to all operational, maintenance, and placement
requirements.
