Check the Salt Level
Check the salt level monthly. Remove the lid from the cabinet or brine tank, make sure salt level is always
above the brine level.
Adding Salt
Use only clean salt labeled for water softener use, such as crystal, pellet or nugget. The use of rock salt is
discouraged because it contains insoluble silt and sand which builds up in the brine tank and can cause
problems with the system operation. Add the salt directly to the tank, filling no higher than the top of the
brine well.
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 knock on the outside of the plastic cabinet 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 cabinet. Allow four hours to produce a brine
solution, then manually regenerate the softener.
Resin Cleaner
An approved resin cleaner must be used on a regular basis if your water supply contains iron. The
amount of resin cleaner and frequency of use is determined by the quantity of iron in your water(consult
your local representative or follow the directions on the resin cleaner package).
Care of Your Water Softener
To retain the attractive appearance of your new water softener, clean occasionally with a mild soap
solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners, ammonia or solvents. Never subject your softener to freezing.
