FILL THE STORAGE TANK WITH SALT

Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each and

every regeneration. The water for making brine is

metered into the salt storage tank by the softener.

However, you must keep the tank filled with salt.

Fill the tank with NUGGET or PELLET water softener salt. DO NOT use rock salts, as they have dirt and

sediments that will stop the softener from working.

Before filling, be sure the brinewell cover is in place

on the top of the brinewell. Salt storage capacity is shown on page 20. Be sure to set the salt monitor

system (see page 10).

POTASSIUM CHLORIDE, alternate to salt: The design

of this softener allows for the use of potassium

chloride in place of salt (sodium chloride). Potassium

chloride does not add sodium to the water, and is

more ecologically friendly. Disadvantages include higher cost, irregular dissolving factors, and the need

for longer softener regeneration times. Ifyou do use

potassium chloride, see page 7 to set the timer for its use.

NOTES:

The salt monitor system, page 10, 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 potassium chloride, rock and solar.

In humid areas, it is best to fill the storage tank half-full, and to refill it more often. Salt bridging (see

page 16) occurs more often when conditions are humid.

WATER SOFTENING SALT WITH IRON REMOV-

ING ADDITIVES --Some salts have an additive to

help the softener handle iron in the water supply.

Although this additive may help to keep the softener

resin clean, it may also release corrosive fumes that

will weaken and shorten the life of some softener

parts.

Sodium information: Water softeners using sodium

chloride for regeneration add sodium to the water.

Persons who are on sodium restricted diets should

consider the added sodium as part of their overall sodium intake.

For example, if your water supply is 15 grains hard, you would have to drink 3 quarts of softened water to

consume 335 milligrams of sodium. That is equivalent to eating 2-1/2 slices of white bread.

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. The

design of this softener also allows the use of potassium

chloride as an alternate to salt (see above, left).

Potassium chlon'de does not add sodium to the water

You have now finished the water softener start up. After the sanitizing recharge, on

page 8, the softener will be giving you soft water.
