SECTION 1 A. [. . . ] If a faucet is opened, hard water is there for your needs. However, you should not use hot water, if possible, because the water heater will refill with hard water. The softener, as factory programmed, regenerates from 2:00 AM to about 4:30 or 4:45 AM (depending on the salt type setting, page 7), a time when not much water is used. If you get up early in the morning and you can hear the softener regenerating, change the recharge starting time. Set the recharge time to 12:00 AM or 1:00 AM (page 7). Then regeneration will start and end that much earlier and your water heater will not refill with hard water if a hot faucet is opened. 15 SECTION 3 3A. CARE OF YOUR SOFTENER SALT¼ REFILLING STORAGE TANK/BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE NOTE: You will have a loss in softening capacity and may get partly hard water if less than 10 inches (salt monitor level 2) of salt is in the storage tank. WHEN TO REFILL WITH SALT (or potassium chloride): The Salt Monitor System (see page 10) will turn the low salt light on to warn you when to refill with salt. Check for a low salt light a few weeks after you install the softener, and every week after that. Always refill at about the #2 salt monitor level. At this level, the tank is about 1/3 full. Never let the softener use all the salt before refilling. Without salt, you will soon have hard water. 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. Be sure the softener is in service cycle (no water pressure at nozzle and venturi), then turn off the cap from the nozzle and venturi housing. Lift out the screen support and screen, then the nozzle and venturi. Wash and rinse the parts in warm water until clean. If needed, use a small brush to remove iron or dirt. Carefully replace all parts in the correct order. Lubricate the o-ring seal with silicone grease or Vaseline and place in position. Install and tighten the cap, by hand only. Do not overtighten and break the cap or housing. FIG. [. . . ] Suction, created by the nozzle and venturi, draws brine from the salt storage tank and injects it into the resin bed via the bottom distributor. Flow continues out the top distributor and to the drain. Hard water is available at the valve outlet. When the brine valve closes to end brine draw, water flow continues in the same directions to slowly RINSE brine from the resin bed and to the drain. BACKWASH CYCLE flow plug drain bypass hard water to valve outlet Timer/switch action again allows the motor to turn the rotor & disc to place the valve in BACKWASH, stopping water flow to the nozzle.
