Maintenance
Replenishment of Salt Supply
The salt storage capacity of the brine tank is approximately 100 kg. During each regeneration
a small amount of salt is consumed, thus requiring periodic replenishment for a continuous
supply of treated water (the frequency and salt dosage level is dependent on the regeneration
schedule).
We recommend to maintain the salt level in the brine tank to 1/2 to 2/3 full. The water level in
the brine tank is maintained automatically and does not require manual intervention. NOTE: The
water level is usually below the salt level & therefore cannot be seen (this is not a problem).
Always replenish salt before the supply is exhausted.
Note
: No extra water is required when topping up the salt level.
Type of Salt to Use
Any type of water softener salt may be used, but for best results, we recommend using coarse
solar salt called "water softener salt" or alternatively "pool salt".
Brine Tank Clean-Out (Yearly)
To help prevent service problems the brine tank should be emptied and flushed out with a
garden hose, when dirt and other insolubles accumulate on a regular basis. Shut off water inlet
supply and depressurize the system before service.
Steps to follow:
1.
Disconnect brine line at either end.
2.
Turn brine tank upside down and discard old salt.
3.
Rinse out with a garden hose.
4.
Reconnect brine line.
5.
Before loading salt, using a pail or garden hose, add approximately 15 Litres of water
to the brine tank.
