      Mrs. Carmen HowardAug 2, 2025
      If your GEL Water Dispenser softener shows a 'salt missing' alarm even though the salt tank is full, try pressing the key to reset the alarm after refilling the salt. If the issue persists, it may indicate a problem with the self-disinfection and salt alarm system, in that case contact Technical Support carrying out start up.
