General information

SALT

Salt is used as the regenerate (cleansing agent) for your water softener’s
resin bed. The salt cabinet will need to be refilled from time to time.

It is essential that approximately 6 inches of salt is maintained
as a minimum to ensure operating efficiency.

Failure to replenish salt will prevent the unit from cleansing itself on its
recharge cycle and consequently it will be unable to soften water. Pour the
salt slowly into the cabinet. Ensure that the brine well cap is secure, as no
salt should be allowed to enter here. 

DO NOT use granular salt. ONLY

USE TABLET SALT OR PELLET SALT.

Your local water softener stockist will stock salt.

NOTE:

During the cleaning process salt does not enter the water supply.

Salt is rinsed to drain.

CLEANING

Your unit may be cleaned with a damp cloth and detergent. Do not use
bleaches, solvents or spirits as this may cause damage.

WATER LEVEL

The water level will vary. Generally there will be no more than two inches 
of water in the cabinet. During re-charge this will increase. Water may 
normally be visible only when the salt level is very low.
