MAINTENANCE

This manual is applicable to one of the following model numbers:

Pro Series: SMX10, SMX12, SMX13

With minimal care, your system is designed to serve you for many years. While constant attention 
to your system is not necessary, the following suggestions will ensure your system’s performance 
and your convenience and satisfaction.

MAINTENANCE

• 

Salt in the brine tank is used as a resin ‘cleaner’ to remove contaminants during the  

        

    regeneration process. Check the salt level of the brine tank every month to make       

     

    sure your system is using salt. Your SOFTMAX PRO® will function properly whether the           
    salt tank is near full or near empty, refill when there is about 1 bag worth of salt remaining

• 

Use only premium-grade regenerant salt that is designed specifically for use with water  

     

    softeners and conditioners. Sodium (NaCl) salt may be used. Potassium (KCl) is       

     

    recommended in most applications for superior taste, odor, aesthetic and environmental benefits.

SERVICE ISSUES

• 

If the Triton control valve system display does not appear, check to make sure the  

     

    system is plugged in and that there is power at the receptacle. If the unit does not respond       
    with power present, contact your WaterTech Dealer.

• 

The manual bypass valve (which is located at the rear of the unit) is designed to isolate the unit  

    from the plumbing for servicing or to shut off the water supply to the unit in the event of a leak  
    at the softener. Consult the operating diagram on page 13 of this manual for instructions to
    position your bypass valve for either service or isolation.

• 

If you experience an extended power outage (over an hour in length), you may need to reset the  

    time of day on the Triton control valve. The internal battery is designed to retain the time of day  
    for up to 24 hours. There is no need to reset any other part of the program as this is kept in       
    non-volatile, permanent memory. Consult the programming instructions on page 3 of this              
    manual for instructions to set the electronic time clock of the Triton control valve.

• 

If you experience a change in water quality:

 

1. First check to see if your brine tank is empty (see above). If necessary, add 

 

    regenerant salt.

 

2. Check to see if your system has power (see above).

 

3. Check to see if the drain line has a kink that may be restricting flow during  

 

     

    regeneration. Correct, if necessary, or contact your WaterTech Dealer.
