Sanitizing Procedure
Care is taken at the factory to keep your water softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the softener will not
infect or contaminate your water supply, and will not cause bacteria to form or grow. However, during shipping, storage,
installing and operating, bacteria could get into the softener. For this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested when
installing.
Sani-System Liquid Sanitizer Concentrate
Item# 80030021—Softener Sanitizer 0.25 fl.oz (24 Pack)
1.
Be sure to complete all installation steps, including programming.
2.
For effective and complete sanitization, EcoSmart recommends Sani-System Liquid Sanitizer Concentrate. Pour one 0.25
fl. Oz. package into the brine well located in the cabinet tank. (Alternative use 3/4 oz of common 5.25% household
bleach)
3.
Start an immediate regeneration. If screen is locked, press MENU for 3 seconds to unlock. To initiate an Immediate
Regeneration, press the SET / REGEN button for 3 seconds, an option for Delayed or Immediate Regeneration will
appear. Press the SET / REGEN button again and delayed will begin flashing, press the down arrow button to have
Immediate flash, press the SET / REGEN button and then press the MENU button and the valve will immediately start
into manual regeneration.
4.
The Softener Sanitizer Solution is drawn into and through the water softener to sanitize it. This sanitizing regeneration is
over in about two hours. Then, soft water is available for your use.
NOTE: Sanitizing is recommended by the Water Quality Association for disinfecting. On some water supplies, they suggest
periodic sanitizing.
