Filling The Brine Tank With Salt
To expect a high level of performance and reliability, a salt manufactured specifically for water softeners must be used.
Salt of this grade is virtually free from dirt and other particulate that would eventually cause the nitrate filter to malfunction.
A pellet type salt is recommended, although any high quality water softener salt (such as solar salt) will suffice. The salt
level will decrease after each regeneration cycle. Consequently, the brine tank will need to be checked and replenished
periodically.
1. Fill the brine tank with water softener salt as described above. This will be approximately 250 pounds of salt.
Warning:
Do not fill above level of the brine well.
2. Replace brine tank lid.
Final Check
1. Be certain the bypass valve is in the SERVICE position.
2. Make sure the power supply is connected to an uninterrupted 115 volt outlet.
3. Check that the time of day is set.
4. Double check regeneration schedule.
5. Make final check for leaks!
6. Fill out and mail warranty card.
7. Leave all manuals with unit.
Operation, Care and Cleaning
When the inlet/outlet knobs on the bypass valve are in the SERVICE position (position of bypass knobs are parallel to the
inlet/outlet piping), water is directed through the nitrate filter. Water may be bypassed by turning the inlet/outlet knobs to
the bypass position (position of bypass knobs are at right angles to inlet/outlet piping). Water to the home will bypass the
nitrate filter and be untreated.
You should manually bypass the nitrate filter if:
1. The outside lines do not bypass the nitrate filter and water is to be used for lawn sprinkling or other similar uses.
2. Servicing the nitrate filter.
3. A water leak from the nitrate filter is evident.
4. Shock treating water well and piping with chlorine or other disinfectant.
Extra Regeneration
If soft water demands are usually heavy, an extra regeneration can be initiated manually:
To Skip A Regeneration
1. For vacations, or extended periods of absence, the power supply can be disconnected from the control valve.
2. Upon return, plug in cord and reset the time of day, if 9 volt battery was not installed. If battery was installed, replace
battery.
