Routine Maintenance
Refilling With Salt
Remove the Salt Storage Tank Front Cover and check the salt storage level frequently. If the con-
ditioner uses all the salt before you refill it, you will get hard water. Until you have established a
refilling routine, check the salt every two or three weeks. ALWAYS add if less than 1/3 full. Be sure
the Brinewell Cover is on.
NOTE: In humid areas, it is best to keep the salt storage level lower, and to refill more often.
SALT NOT RECOMMENDED: Rock salt, high in impurities, block, granulated, table, ice melting,
ice cream making salts, etc., are not recommended.
SALT WITH IRON REMOVING ADDITIVES: Some salts have an additive to help a water condi-
tioner handle iron in a water supply. These are not recommended for Miracle Water units.
Breaking A Salt Bridge
Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in the brine tank. It is usually caused by high humid-
ity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt bridges, an empty space forms between the water and
the salt. Then, salt will not dissolve in the water to make brine. Without brine, the resin bed does
not regenerate and you will have hard water.
If the storage tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if you have a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but
the bridge is under it. Take a broom handle, or like tool, and push it straight down into the salt. If
a hard object is felt, it’s most likely a salt bridge. Carefully push into the bridge in several places to
break it.
DO NOT use any sharp or pointed objects as you may puncture the tank.
