This depends on how much water you use. But on
average, a family of four will use around 25kg per month.
7 How much salt does it use?
Very little. The cost of electricity for a year is virtually
insignificant. Much of the power for regeneration is
drawn from the kinetic energy of the water supply.
8 How much power does it use?
The salt is used during regeneration. (See question 2).
9 Why does the softener need salt?
It is best to check the salt level every two weeks. If it is
less than a quarter fu
ll, it needs topping up.
10 When will the salt need topping up?
Usually the shop where you bought the softener, or any
local builder’s merchant will sell tablet salt.
11 Where should I get the salt from?
The best sort of salt for your softener is tablet salt. You
can use granular, but it is not recommended (see label
under salt lid). Don’t use block salt, as it dissolves
too slowly.
12 What sort of salt should I use?
Yes, but only a couple of inches (50mm). Normally you
won’t see it b
ecause the salt covers it. During
regeneration, the water level gets higher for a time.
13 Should there be water in with
the salt?
What do the lights mean?
NORMAL OPERATION:
The softener has one light
illuminated. This tells you the
hardness setting for your
incoming water. To change it,
press the button on the fascia
panel repeatedly until the
required setting is reached
WATER FLOWING:
The lights flash from left to
right. This tells you that the
softener is measuring the flow
of water through the softener.
REGENERATING:
The right hand ‘D’ light flashes
constantly and the other lights
come on in a sequence. This
lasts for about
one hour.
FA
ULT:
All lights flashing on and off
together. See the Trouble
Shooting Guide, in this manual.
