COVERS To keep your new Sears water softener looking nice, apply a coat of paste wax and repeat once a year. When dusty, wipe it with a damp cloth to keep it sparkling. NOZZLE AND VENTURI A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. 10) is a must for the softener to work right. This small unit moves brine from the salt storage tank to the resin tank during regeneration. If it becomes plugged with sand, silt, dirt, etc. , the softener will not work and you will get hard water. To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the softener top cover. If a single bypass valve is installed, move the stem into bypass. In a 3 valve bypass system, close the inlet and outlet valve and open the bypass valve. If you want water in the house pipes again, reopen the shut off valve on the main water pipe. Unplug the transformer at the wall outlet. Remove the salt hole cover and the main cover. Carefully remove the large holding clips at the softener inlet and outlet (see Key No. Separate the softener from the adaptors or bypass valve. Remove the brinewell cover and disconnect the brine valve tubing at the nozzle and venturi assembly (see page 23). Lift the brine valve out of the brinewell. Tip the brine valve upside down to drain out water. FIG. 11, lay a piece of 2 inch thick board near the floor drain. [. . . ] WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER VALVE FAST RINSE CYCLE During FAST RINSE, the rotor & disc is positioned so water flow enters the resin tank through the top distributor, and exits through the bottom distributor, to the drain. The solid state timer again energizes the motor to return the valve to service. As the valve rotates, the position switch lever drops to open the circuit. The valve remains positioned in service until the timer initiates the next regeneration. 26 SECTION 5 NOTES SERVICE TECH. [. . . ]
