• 

As a last resort, try adding approximately four (4) 
ounces of household bleach (5.25%) into the brine 
well. Begin a manual regeneration. Monitor the 
drain line for a strong chlorine odour which should 
occur in the brine draw cycle . When odour is 
present, halt regeneration by unplugging unit and 
shutting down water flow to the unit via the bypass 
valve. Shutdown the unit for approximately 
two (2) hours, then continue regeneration by 
plugging unit back in and replacing bypass valve to 
service position. Only try this step as a last resort 
as chlorine will degrade the resin bed. If 
unsuccessful, see next step. 

• 

Resin bed may have become permanently fouled 
due to infrequency of regenerations or nature of 
tannins causing colour in water. Replace resin 
media bed and check to see that regeneration 
frequency is adequate or consult your dealer. 

5.  Combination Softener filter resin media may be fouled 

with Iron. Check visually to confirm. 

• 

Iron should typically be removed prior to the 
unit. Install an iron filter upstream of the unit. 

• 

Clean iron from resin media bed with a reducing 
agent such as sodium bisulfite or sodium 
hydrosulfite by adding it to the brine tank down the 
brine well and allowing time to mix. Manually 
regenerate softener.

see instructions on bottle on cleaning of water 
softeners. 

• 

If resin bed cannot be cleaned, it may be 
permanently fouled with iron. Replace resin media 
bed and install treatment upstream of unit to 
remove iron. 

6.  Combination Softener filter resin media may be fouled 

with Calcium Carbonate. 

• 

Calcium Carbonate fouling is the result of 
hardness precipitating onto the resin media. 

• 

Clean calcium carbonate from resin media with a 
mild acid solution such as phosphoric acid. Do this 
by adding cleaning product to the brine tank via the 
brine well and then manually regenerate. Once 
complete, manually regenerate again with salt 
brine.
