WATER CONDITIONER SALT 

 

The  water  softener  needs  'brine'  for  its  periodic 
regenerations. This brine solution is made from water, that 
is automatically  dosed  in the  brine cabinet  by the control 
valve, and water conditioner salt.  
 
The user should make sure that the brine cabinet is always 
kept  full  of  water  conditioner  salt.  Therefore  he  should  
periodically  check  the  salt  level  inside  the  brine  cabinet 
and refill it if necessary. To open the salt lid, simply take it 
by  the  handle  and  lift  it.  The  salt  lid  can  be  removed 
completely to facilitate refilling. 
 

 
Ideally the level of water conditioner salt inside the brine 
cabinet  is  kept  between  1/3  and  2/3.  A  lower  level  of 
water  conditioner  salt  can  cause  insufficient  brine 
saturation,  resulting  in  a  loss  of  softening  capacity.  A 
higher  level  of  water  conditioner  salt  can  cause  salt 
bridging  (hard  crust  or  salt  bridges  in  the  brine  cabinet). 
When you suspect salt bridging: 
1.

 

carefully pound on the outside of the brine cabinet to 
break loose the salt bridges; 

2.

 

using  a  broom  (or  like  blunt  tool)  carefully  push  the 
salt to break it apart; 

3.

 

pour warm water over the top of the salt to dissolve 
it. 

 
 

BRINE CABINET 

 
To  retain  the  appearance  of  the  water  softener,  simply 
wipe  it  with  a  damp  cloth  or  clean  it  with  a  mild  soap 
solution;  never  use  abrasive  cleaners,  ammonia  or 
solvents. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

RESIN CLEANER 

 
Other  contaminants  (f.e.  iron)  present  in  the  feed  water 
can  cause  the  resin  bed  to  foul  up,  resulting  in  a  loss  of 
softening  capacity. An approved resin cleaner can be used 
periodically to thoroughly clean the resin bed. 
 
 

SANITIZING THE WATER SOFTENER 

 

This water softener is manufactured from premium quality 
material  and  assembled  in  safe  conditions  to  assure  it  is 
clean  and  sanitary.  If  installed  and  serviced  correctly,  this 
water  softener  will  not  infect  or  contaminate  your  water 
supply. 
 
However,  as  in  any  'device'  plumbed-in  in  your  water 
distribution system, a proliferation of bacteria is  possible, 
especially  in  case  of  'stagnant  water'.  As  this  is  a  time-
controlled  water  softener,  it  will  automatically  rinse  the 
resin  bed  periodically,  even  in  case  of  low  or  absence  of 
water usage. 
 
If the power supply to the water softener is disconnected 
for  a  longer  period  of  time,  we  recommend,  when  the 
power  supply  is  re-established,  to  manually  initiate  a 
complete  regeneration  (refer  to  section  'ELECTRONIC 
CONTROL PANEL').
