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. Clean white pellet, cube-style, or
solar salt is recommended. Do not use rock salt.
Caution:
Do not mix different types of salt.
2.
You may use a salt substitute (such as potassium
chloride) in place of water conditioner salt. A Hague
dealer should be contacted before a switch is
made to a salt substitute. If potassium chloride is
used in place of salt, the technician must select the
potassium option during the programming of the
controller.
See Service Settings
.
Caution:
Do not use potassium chloride if there is
iron and/or manganese in the water.
3.
Should your electricity be off for any reason, check
your controller for the correct time and reset as
necessary. See
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.
If dirt, sand, or large particles are present in the
water supply, the appropriate Hague filter can
eliminate this problem. See
Filter Specifications.
6.
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 (120 mL) of chlorine
bleach solution to the brine well of the brine tank.
The brine tank should have water in it. Start a
manual regeneration.
7.
Protect the appliance, including the drain line, from
freezing.
8.
The bypass valve (attached to 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. To bypass, turn the blue
knob counterclockwise until it hits the stop; turn it
clockwise to restore service.
9.
Before putting the appliance back in service after
work has been performed, turn on the nearest cold
water tap until water runs clear.
10.
Adhere to all operational, maintenance, and
placement requirements.
11.
Inspect and clean the brine tank and air check/draw
tube assembly annually or when sediment is present
in the brine tank.
12.
Potassium permanganate will need to be added
periodically to any iron filter.
13.
These appliances are 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.
