Add Water and Salt to the Salt Storage Tank

Using a container, add about three gallons of clean water into the salt storage tank.

Add salt t o the storage tank. Use nugget, pellet or coarse solar salts with less than 1% impurities.

NOTE: See “Routine Maintenance Section” for additional informati on on salt.

Persons who are on sodium restric ted die ts should consider the added sodium as part of their overall sodium intake .

For example, if your water supply is 15 grains hard, and you drank 3 qua rts of softene d water you would consume

335 milligrams of sodium. That is equivalent to eating 2 --1/2 slices of white bread.

NOTE: The salt monitor system is calibrated to the density of nugget or pellet water softener salt. The monitor

will not work as ac curatel y with other t ypes of salt inc luding rock and solar.

If you choose Potassium Chloride (KCl) as a re generant, following these suggestions will help give you years of

maintenance free service.

1. Plac e only one bag of

KCl in your softener at a time (the salt storage tank should contain no m ore than 60

pounds of KCl at any one time).

A softener using KCl should not be placed in areas with temperature fluctuations and high humidity (KCl will

harden in the se environments and may make the softener inoperable).

Check the brine tank and brine well (black tube in salt storage tank) monthly. If hardening is present, pour small

amounts of warm water on hardened areas unt il they loosen.

If your softener does not have a KCl salt setting you must increase your hardness setting by 25% to ensure

continuous soft water as in exam ple below.

Sanitize the Softener/Sanitize After Service

Open salt hole cover and remove the brinewell cover a nd pour about 1--1/2 oz . (2 to 3 tablespoons) of household

bleach into the softener brinewell. Replace the brinewell cover.

Make sure the bypass valve(s) is in the service (open) position.

Sanitize procedure will be completed when first cycle is run and sanitizing solution is flushed from the water

softener.

Plug in Water Softener

During installation, the water softener wiring may be moved or jostled from place. Check to be sure all leadwire

connec tors are sec ure on the back of the el ectronic board and be sure a ll wiring is away from the valve gear and motor

area , which rota tes duri ng regenerations.

Plug the wa ter softener into an el ectrical outlet that is not controlled by a switch.

NOTE:

The water heater is filled with hard water and, as hot water is used, it refills with conditioned water. In a few days, the

hot water will be fully conditioned. To have fully conditioned hot water immediately, wait until the initial recharge

is over. Then, drain the water heater (following instructions for water heater) until water runs cold.
