CARE OF YOUR SOFTENER KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN NOTE: Never use cleaners having ammonia or abrasives. They may scratch and dull the surface. 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 & 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. 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. 10 CLEANING THE NOZZLE & VENTURI *INSTALL WITH NUMBERED SIDE UP CONCAVE SIDE DOWN. BE SURE THE FLOW PLUG WITH THE LARGEST CENTER HOLE IS LOCATED IN THE NOZZLE & VENTURI HOUSING.
