AFTER INSTALLATION
Now your Tapworks water softener is installed, you can start to enjoy the
benefits of soft water. Your Tapworks water softener is automatic, there is
nothing you need to do but keep it topped up with tablet/pellet salt.
DO NOT USE GRANULAR OR BLOCK SALT. (See Salt below.)
Softened water will gradually replace the hard water in the storage
tank over a period of normally 7 days. However, this can take longer
in larger houses.
TESTING YOUR WATER
You can test the water hardness from the softened supply using the
test kit supplied. If within one or two drops the sample remains a
blue colour this indicates soft water.
WARRANTY CERTIFICATE
Please complete the customer warranty certificate or register on line
for your 2 year parts and labour warranty.

queries about your water softener.
THE USE OF SOFTENED WATER
Washing machines
– you will need much less soap powder. In most
washes one tablespoon will be sufficient. Too much lather and clothes will
not rinse properly.
Dishwashers
– you will no longer need to fill your unit with salt, as this
was used to soften the water in the dishwasher.
Cleaning sinks, baths and basins
– you will find that your cleaning
chores are reduced, and you will use less cleaning product, as cleaning
becomes a quick wipe around. Occasionally ‘spotting’ may result but this
is easily rinsed off and nothing to worry about.
Hard water
– one household tap and any garden taps should be left on
a hard water supply. Softened water contains a small amount of sodium.
In four pints of softened water the sodium content is about the same as in
¼ pint of milk. If you are concerned about the quality of your drinking
water supply ask your local stockist about the benefits of a Tapworks
Drinking Water System. Drinking softened water is not recommended for
people on low sodium diets or babies on formula feed.
Steam irons/car batteries
– only use distilled or deionised water, not
softened water.
Copper staining
– this can be caused by new pipework and should
disappear after a short time, simply wipe away any deposit. If this
persists, poor earthing may be allowing electrolytic corrosion - contact an
electrical engineer.
