Adding Salt To The Storage Tank

ADDING SALT TO THE STORAGE TANK

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. You must keep salt in the tank, but because the water soften- er is very efficient, it is not necessary to keep it full. Especially in humid areas, it is best to fill the storage tank one quarter to one half full, and to add salt more often. Salt bridging occurs more often when conditions are humid.

Use NUGGET or PELLET water softener salt. DO NOT use rock salts, as they have dirt and sediments that will stop the softener from working.To maintain optimum per- formance 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.

1.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).

2.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).

3.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.

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.
