If you choose Potassium Chloride (KCl) as a regenerant,

following these suggestions will help give you years of maintenance free service.

,Place only one bag of KCl in your softener at a time (the salt storage tank should contain no more than 60 pounds of KCl at any one time).

,A softener using KCl should not be placed in areas with temperature fluctuations and high humidity (KCl 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 KCl salt setting you must increase your hardness setting by 25% to ensure continuous soft water as in example below.

FIG.29

Persons who are on sodium restricted diets should con- sider the added sodium as part of their overall sodium intake. For example, if your water supply is 15 grains hard, and you drank 3 quarts of softened water you would consume 335 milligrams of sodium. That is equivalent to eating 2-1/2 slices of white bread.

WATER SOFTENING SALT WITH IRON

REMOVING ADDITIVES

Some salts have an additive to help the softener handle iron in the water supply. These salts may be used if your water supply has a high iron content. It is recom- mended to use Sears Resin Bed Cleaner (refer to the Parts List in back of manual for part number) for period- ic treatments to keep your resin bed clean. This is avail- able at your local Sears store.

Persons who are concerned about their drinking water

should consider a Kenmore Drinking Water System that will remove or reduce in excess of 90% of the sodium

and other drinking water contaminants.
