3B. KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN

COVERS

To keep your new Kenmore 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.

NOTE:

Never use cleaners having ammonia or abrasives.

They may scratch and dull the surface.

NOZZLE & VENTURI

A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. ] 0) 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 anti 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 anti venturi housing. Do not lose the laJy¢e o-J4ng seal. Lift out the screen support

and screen, then the nozzle anti venturi. Wash and rinse the parts in warm water until clean. If needed, use a small brush to remove iron or dirt. Also check and clean the gasket flow plugs and screens.

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.

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 19. With clear water iron, water from a faucet is clear when first put into a glass. After 1.5 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. Sears has resin bed cleaner, Item No. 42-34426 for this. Clean the bed at

least eve W 6 months. If iron shows up in the soft

water before 6 months, clean more often. Printed

instructions are on the resin bed cleaner bottle.

625.34857, 625.34859 specifications

The Kenmore 625.34859 and 625.34857 are notable water filtration systems designed for residential use, offering an efficient way to ensure clean and safe drinking water. These units are characterized by their advanced filtration technologies and user-friendly features that cater to the needs of modern households.

One of the main features of these models is their multi-stage filtration process, which effectively removes contaminants such as chlorine, sediment, and various impurities found in tap water. The filtration system includes a sediment filter, a carbon filter, and a reverse osmosis membrane, working synergistically to improve water quality significantly.

The reverse osmosis technology is a standout aspect of the Kenmore 625 series. This method utilizes a semi-permeable membrane that allows only water molecules to pass through while blocking larger molecules and contaminants. As a result, users enjoy cleaner, better-tasting water free of harmful substances. The filtration process is further complemented by a post-carbon filter that enhances the taste and removes any remaining odors.

Another significant characteristic is the high capacity of these systems. With a storage tank that provides ample water supply, families can conveniently access filtered water whenever needed without the frequent need for cartridge replacements. The POU (Point of Use) design allows for easy integration into kitchen setups, making it an ideal solution for cooking, drinking, and food preparation.

Furthermore, the Kenmore 625.34859 and 625.34857 come equipped with monitoring technology that alerts users when filter changes are needed. This feature eliminates the guesswork, ensuring that the systems operate at peak efficiency and maintain optimal water quality.

Installation of these units is user-friendly, often requiring only basic plumbing skills, making it accessible for DIY enthusiasts. Additionally, both models are designed for low maintenance, offering long service life and reliability, which makes them an excellent investment for those looking to elevate their home water quality.

In summary, the Kenmore 625.34859 and 625.34857 are advanced water filtration systems that combine effective multi-stage filtration, cutting-edge reverse osmosis technology, high capacity, and user-friendly features. Their ability to deliver purified water consistently makes them a popular choice for families looking to improve their drinking water quality and ensure their health and well-being.
