Important Note: It is important
to maintain at least 15 lbs. to 30
lbs. of salt in your brine tank to
correctly regenerate your
System and to continue to enjoy
soft water. LOW SALT ALERTS
will activate for salt levels
under 30 lbs.

!

Recommendations: If choosing to
use both Block and Pellet form of
salt when filling your brine tank,
we recommend you maintain your
settings on Pellet Form. We do not
recommend this method of filling
your brine tank for system sizes of
EC5 150 and higher. The total
volume of salt in the full brine
tank will not allow enough room
for water to make the appropriate
amount of brine solution to
regenerate your system fully.
