The appliance needs 'brine' for its periodic regenerations.
This brine solution is made from water, that
is automatically dosed in the brine cabinet by the control
valve, and water conditioner salt. The user should make
sure that the brine cabinet is always kept full of water
conditioner salt. Therefore he should periodically check
the salt level inside the brine cabinet and refill
it if necessary. The salt lid can be removed completely
to facilitate refilling.
Ideally the level of water conditioner salt inside the brine
cabinet is kept between 1/3 and 2/3. A lower level of water
conditioner salt can cause insufficient brine saturation,
resulting in a loss of softening capacity. A higher level
of water conditioner salt can cause salt bridging (hard
crust or salt bridges in the brine cabinet). When you
suspect salt bridging:
- carefully pound on the outside of the brine
cabinet to break loose the salt bridges;
- using a broom (or like blunt tool) carefully push
the salt to break it apart;
- pour warm water over the top of the salt
to dissolve it.
WATER CONDITIONER SALT
To retain the appearance of the appliance, simply wipe
it with a damp cloth or clean it with a mild soap solution;
never use abrasive cleaners, ammonia or solvents.
APPEARANCE
This appliance is manufactured from premium quality
material and assembled in safe conditions to assure
it is clean and sanitary. If installed and serviced correctly,
this appliance will not infect or contaminate your water
supply. However, as in any 'device' plumbed-in in your
water distribution system, a proliferation of bacteria
is possible, especially in case of 'stagnant water'.
Therefore this appliance is equipped with a 'days override'
feature, that will automatically rinse the resin bed
periodically, even in case of low or absence of water usage.
If the power supply to the appliance is disconnected for
a longer period of time, we recommend, when the power
supply is re-established, to manually initiate a complete
regeneration.
