WATERSOFTENERSTART-UP

SECTION 1

1D.SANITIZINGTHEWATERSOFTENER

Care is taken at the factory to keep your water

softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to

make the softener will not infect orcontaminate

yourwatersupply,andwillnotcause bacteriato

form or grow. However, during shipping, stor-

age, installing and operating, bacteria could get

into the softener. For this reason, sanitizing as

follows is suggested¡when installing.

1. Lift the salt hole cover and use apail or hose

to fill the salt storage tank with at least 3

gallons of water.

2. Remove the brinewell cover (FIG. 3) and

pour about 3/4 ounce of common 5.25%

household bleach (Clorox, Linco, BoPeep,

White Sail, Eagle, etc.) in the softener brine-

well.

3. PresstheON/OFF-HOLDbuttonandholdfor

3 seconds to start a recharge. This first re-

charge does several things.

—It draws the bleach into and through the

softener to sanitize it.

—Itfillsthesalttanktothewaterlevelneed-

ed.

—It gets all the air out of the resin tank.

—It makesthe resin bed (seepage 11) ready

for service.

NOTES:

This recharge takes about 2 hours.

You can sanitize the softener with or with-

out salt in the storage tank.

¡Recommendedby the WaterQualityAssociation.On

some watersupplies,the watersoftenermayneed

periodicdisinfecting.Sanitizewithorwithoutsaltinthe

WATERSOFTENERSTART-UP

SECTION 1

1E.FILL THE STORAGETANK WITHSALT

Brine(saltdissolvedinwater)isneeded foreach

and every regeneration. The water for making

brine is metered into the salt storage tank by the

softener.However,youmustkeepthetankfilled

with salt.

Fill the tank with NUGGET or PELLET water

softener salt. DO NOT use rock salts, as they

have dirt and sediments that will stop the

softener from working.

Before filling, be sure the brinewell cover is in

place on the top of the brinewell. Salt storage

capacity is shown on page 21.

NOTES:

In humid areas, it is best to fill the storage tank

half-full,andtorefillit moreoften. Saltbridging

(seepage 14)occursmoreoftenwhenconditions

are humid.

WATERSOFTENINGSALTWITHIRONRE-

MOVINGADDITIVES—Some salts have an

additive to help the softener handle iron in the

water supply. Although this additive may help

to keep the softener resin clean, it may also

release corrosive fumes that will weaken and

shorten the life of some softener parts.

FIG.4

SODIUM INFORMATION: Water softeners us-

ing sodium chloride for regeneration add so-

dium to the water. Persons who are on sodium

restricted diets should consider the added so-

dium as part of their overall sodium intake.

For example, if your water supply is 15 grains

hard, you would have to drink 3 quarts of

softened water to consume 335 milligrams of

sodium. That is equivalent to eating 2-1/2 slices

of white bread.

Personswhoareconcerned about their drinking

water should consider a Sears Drinking Water

System that will remove or reduce in excess of

90% of the sodium and other drinking water

contaminants.

YOU HAVE NOW FINISHED THE WATER SOFTENER START UP. AFTER THE SANITIZING RE-

CHARGE, ON PAGE 7, THE SOFTENER WILL BE GIVING YOU SOFT WATER.

RECHARGE NOW—If you have guests visit-

ing, or other times when you use more water

than usual, you could begin to run out of soft

water.Ifthesoftenerisnotscheduledtoregener-

ate for another day or 2, you would get hard

water until then. If this happens, or you think it

might happen, press and hold in the HOLD-RE-

CHARGE NOW button ¤for 3 seconds until

RCHG shows. RCHG will flash in the display

during the regeneration, which lasts under 2

hours.

NOTE:

Avoid using HOT water while the softener

regenerates, because bypass hard water will

refill the water heater (see “Automatic Bypass,”

TIMER“POWER-OUTAGE MEMORY”—If

electrical power to the timer goes off, the

“memory”built into timer circuitry keeps all

settings for 6 hours (minimum) or more. The

display is blank and the softener will not

regenerate.Whenelectricalpowercomeson,1of

2 things will happen.

1. The present time of day will show, meaning

the timer memory has kept all settings.

NOTE:

Ifthesoftenerwasinaregenerationwhenpower

was lost, it will now finish the cycle.

2. The display will show a time, but it will be

flashing.The timermemorydidnot keepthe

timesettingsandtheymustbereset(page6).

The flashing display is to remind you to reset

the timer.

NOTE:

When power comes on, the flashing display

returns to a time of 12:00 AM Sunday, then

begins to keep time again. If you do not reset all

time settings,the softener will regenerate 3 days

each week. However, regeneration will most

likely be on the wrong days and at the wrong

time.

another regeneration, or
