IRON FROM THE RESIN BED Your water softener takes hardness minerals (cal cium and magnesium) out of the water. Also, it can control some clear water" iron. See maximum allowed in the specifications on page 18. With clear water iron, water from a faucet is clear when first put into a glass. After 15 to 30 minutes, the water begins to cloud or turn rust colored. A water softener will not remove any iron which makes the water cloudy or rusty as it comes from the faucet (called red water iron). To take red water iron out of water, or over the maximum of clear water iron, an iron filter or other equipment is needed. Your local Sears store has trained people to help you with iron water problems. If your water supply has clear water iron, even though less than the maximum allowed, regular resin bed cleaning is needed. If iron appears in the soft water before 6 months, clean more often. Printed instruc tions are on the resin bed cleaner bottle. IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT CLEANING AND MAINTAINING YOUR SOFTENER, CALL TOLL FREE, NUMBER 1-800-426-9345. 15 SECTION 3 3C. CARE OF YOUR SOFTENER KEEP THE SOFTENER FROM FREEZING FIG. 11 DRAIN WATER FROM THE SOFTENER If the softener is installed where it could freeze (summer cabin, lake home, etc. ), you must drain all water from it to stop possible freeze damage. Close the shut off valve on the house main water pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank. Open a faucet in the soft water pipes to vent pressure in the softener. 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. [. . . ] The solid state timer again energizes the motor to return the valve to service, and 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. INFORMATION 27 SECTION 6 REPAIR PARTS SEARS WATER SOFTENER MODEL NO.
