Service Schedule
The seals and spacers along with the piston assembly should be inspected/cleaned or replaced every year depending on the inlet water quality and water usage on clean
municipal supplies every 2 - 3 years should be sufficient but the first check should be done after 1 year. See inspection and replacement of Piston assembly and seal and spacer
kit, page 24.
The injectors should be cleaned/inspected or replaced every year depending on the water quality and use. See Clean Injector Assembly, page 24.
Maintenance Kit (60010565)
should be used for servicing control on an annual basis. The maintenance kit consists of piston assembly, seals and spacers, injectors.
Maintenance of your new water conditioner requires very little time or effort but it is essential. Regular maintenance will ensure many years of efficient and trouble free operation.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW BASIC MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE WILL RESULT IN THE UNIT FAILING TO OPERATE PROPERLY AND VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
CAUTION!
Liquid brine will irritate eyes,
skin and open wounds -
gently wash exposed area
with fresh water. Keep
children away from
your water conditioner.
Bridging
Humidity or the wrong type of salt may create a cavity between the water and
the salt. This action, known as “bridging”, prevents the brine solution from
being made, leading to your water supply being hard.
If you suspect salt bridging, carefully pound on the outside of the plastic brine
tank or pour some warm water over the salt to break up the bridge. This should
always be followed up by allowing the unit to use up any remaining salt and
then thoroughly cleaning out the brine tank. Allow four hours to produce a
brine solution, then manually regenerate the softener.
Cleaning of your Brine / Salt tank
Salt tanks will build up sludge (undissolved salt) in the bottom of them that will continue to increase as time goes by. Every 2 - 3 years the salt tank should be cleaned out
completely and re started using the original start up instructions.
