6. Water Softener (Brewtus III V only)
The Brewtus comes with a water softener that will help keep damaging minerals out of
the boilers. There is nothing that has to be done on initial start-up to get the water
softener ready for use. See the chart below for recommendations on when to recharge the
water softener. Use the following recharging instructions.
Water softener filter
Water reservoir
a) Fill a container with water (same amount as the reservoir)
b) Pour in 3 tablespoons of salt.
c) Stir the salt into the water.
d) Insert the water softener filter inside the reservoir.
e) Drain the water from the reservoir through the water softener filter.
To drain the water from the reservoir:
Place the plastic tube as is indicated.
Suck in the tube until it fills with water.
Press your finger over the inlet from the tube in order to avoid any air.
While the tube is being pressed, place the inlet from the tube downwards
(as indicated). Wait until the reservoir is completely empty.
Once the water reservoir is empty, fill it again with water (without salt) and repeat
the process, in order to clean the water softener filter.
