Getting Maximum Efficiency from the Appliance
To achieve the maximum benefit and performance
from this appliance, familiarize yourself with this
manual and the appliance.
1. The salt level should always be at least 1/3 full.
Refill the salt when the level drops below the
water level in the brine tank. A resin cleaner
can be used on a monthly basis. Clean white
pellet salt, cube-style salt, or solar salt is
recommended. Do not use rock salt.
Caution: Do not mix different types of salt.
2. You may use a salt substitute (such as
potassium chloride) in place of water
conditioner salt. An independent dealer should
be contacted before a switch is made to a salt
substitute. If potassium chloride is used in
place of salt, the technician must select the
potassium chloride option during the
programming of the controller. See Service
Settings.
Caution: Do not use potassium chloride if
there is iron and/or manganese in the water.
3. Should the electricity be off for any reason,
check the controller for the correct time and
reset as necessary. See Customer Settings.
4. Program the appliance to regenerate at a time
when the water is not being used. If there is
more than one appliance, allow two hours
between each regeneration.
5. If dirt, sand, or large particles are present in the
water supply, pre-treat with the appropriate
filter.
6. The appliance may be disinfected with 5.25%
sodium hypochlorite, which is the active
ingredient in household chlorine bleach. To
disinfect the appliance, add 4.0 fluid ounces
(120 mL) of chlorine bleach solution to the brine
well of the brine tank. The brine tank should
have water in it. Start a manual regeneration.
7. Protect the appliance, including the drain line,
from freezing.
8. The bypass valve (located on the main control
valve) enables you to bypass the appliance if
any work is being performed on the appliance,
well pump, or plumbing. See Bypass Valve.
Use the Bypass mode for watering plants or
lawns with untreated water.
9. Before putting the appliance back in service
after work has been performed, turn on the
nearest cold water tap until water runs clear.
10. Adhere to all operational, maintenance, and
placement requirements.
11. Inspect and clean the brine tank and
air check/draw tube assembly annually or when
sediment is present in the brine tank.
Five-Button Controller
This appliance features a five-button controller with an
LCD display. The controller can be used to view the
appliance’s status, perform regenerations, and change
settings. An independent dealer should set the Service
Settings during installation of the appliance.
Note: Ensure that the bottom of the controller is
firmly locked onto the four tabs on the top of the
drive end cap assembly. See Cabinet and Cover
Assemblies diagram later in this manual.
