Getting Maximum Efficiency From the Appliance
To achieve the maximum benefit and performance
from this appliance, familiarize yourself with this
manual and the appliance.
1.
The salt level should always be at least 1/3 full.
Refill the salt when the level drops below the
water level in the brine cabinet. A resin cleaner
can be used on a monthly basis. A clean pellet,
solar, or cube-type salt is recommended. Do
not use rock salt.
Caution: Do not mix different types of salt.
2.
You may switch to a salt substitute (such as
potassium chloride) in place of water
conditioner salt at any time. If potassium
chloride is used in place of salt, increase your
hardness setting by 12% (multiply by 1.12).
See Setting the Controller .
Caution: Do not use potassium chloride if your
water contains iron and/or manganese.
3.
Should your electricity be off for any reason
check your controller for the correct time and
reset as necessary (See Advanced Customer
Settings ).
4.
Program the appliance to regenerate at a time
when the water is not being used. If there is
more than one appliance, allow two hours
between each regeneration.
5.
Protect the appliance, including the drain line,
from freezing.
6.
Adhere to all operational, maintenance, and
placement requirements.
7.
If dirt, sand, or large particles are present in the
water supply, the appropriate
WaterBoss
®
filter
can eliminate this problem.
8.
The appliance may be disinfected with 5.25%
sodium hypochlorite, which is the active
ingredient in household chlorine bleach. To
disinfect the appliance, add 4.0 fluid ounces of
chlorine bleach solution to the brine well of the
brine cabinet. The brine cabinet should have
water in it. Start a manual regeneration.
9.
The bypass valve (located on the main control
valve) enables you to bypass the appliance if
any work is being performed on the appliance,
well pump, or plumbing. See Bypass Valve .
Use Bypass mode also for watering plants or
lawns with untreated water.
10.
Before putting the appliance back in service
after work has been performed, turn on the
nearest cold water tap until water runs clear.
11.
Inspect and clean the brine cabinet and air
check/draw tube assembly annually or when
sediment is present in the brine cabinet.
12.
Potassium permanganate will need to be added
periodically to any iron filter.
13.
Model 950 contains redox media and activated
carbon media. These have a finite life and will
eventually require replacement if the advertised
performance capabilities of this device are to
be maintained.
14.
This product is certified for barium and radium
226/228 reduction according to NSF/ANSI
Standard 44. Any Bypass system must be
completely in the Service position to ensure
maximum barium and radium 226/228
reduction.
