TEN YEAR LIMITED WARRANTY AGAINST LEAKS When installed, operated and maintained according to all instructions supplied with the product, if the water softener tank or salt storage drum develops a leak within ten years from the date of purchase, call 1-800-4MY-HOME® to arrange for free tank or drum replacement. After the first year you must pay an initial trip charge. [. . . ] DO NOT use rock salts, as they have dirt and sediments that will stop the softener from working. To maintain optimum performance of your water softener, the salt tank should be cleaned out every 2 to 3 years. Before adding salt, be sure the brinewell cover is in place on the top of the brinewell. It is recommended to set the salt monitor system, although it is not required for proper operation. NOTE: The salt monitor system is calibrated to the density of nugget or pellet water softener salt. The monitor will not work as accurately with other types of salt including rock and solar. If you choose Potassium Chloride (KCI) as a regenerant, following these suggestions will help give you years of maintenance free service. Place only one bag of KCI in your softener at a time (the salt storage tank should contain no more than 60 pounds of KCI at any one time). A softener using KCI should not be placed in areas with temperature fluctuations and high humidity (KCI will harden in these environments and may make the softener inoperable). Check the brine tank and brine well (black tube in salt storage tank) monthly. If hardening is present, pour small amounts of warm water on hardened areas until they loosen. If your softener does not have a KCI salt setting you must increase your hardness setting by 25% to ensure continuous soft water as in example below. Raw Water Hardness (Grains Per Gallon) 5 gpg 10 gpg 15 gpg 20 gpg 25 gpg 30 gpg 35 gpg 40 gpg Softener Setting When Using KCI 7 gpg 13 gpg 19 gpg 25 gpg 32 gpg 38 gpg 44 gpg 50 gpg Brinewell Cover Brinewell Salt Storage Tank FIG. 29 Persons who are on sodium restricted diets should consider the added sodium as part of their overall sodium intake. This regeneration will last for about 2 hours. 31 RECHARGE TONIGHT Press and release (do not hold) the REGENERATION button. RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes in the display, and the softener begins regeneration at the next preset recharge time. Press and release the RECHARGE button once more if you decide to cancel the regeneration, and RECHARGE TONIGHT will not flash in the display. FIG. 32 SALT MONITOR SYSTEM The face plate timer has a low salt monitor with an indicator light to remind you to add salt to the storage tank. Lift the salt hole cover and level the salt in the storage tank. The salt level decal, on the brinewell inside the tank, has numbers from 0 to 8. Observe the number the leveled salt is at or closest to. Press SELECT once to get to the Set Salt Level screen. Now press the UP or DOWN buttons until the number corresponds with the salt level number. At level 2 or below, the indicator LED will flash. [. . . ] As the valve rotates, the position switch lever drops to open the circuit. The valve remains positioned in service until the electronic timer initiates the next regeneration.
