which	is		an alternative			to
sodium		chloride.			KC1 should		be used in accordance				to
the following				steps to help give you years of mainte-
nance		free	service.

1)Place only one bag of KC1 in your softener at a time (the salt storage tank should contain no more than 60 pounds of KC1 at any one time),

2)A softener using KC1 should not be placed in areas

with high temperature changes or high humidity (KC1

will harden in these environments and may make the softener inoperable),

3)Check the brine tank and brinewell (black tube in

salt storage tank) monthly, if hardening is present, pour small amounts of warm water on hardened areas until they loosen.

4)Be sure to set the correct salt type depending on which salt type is used (NaC1 or KC1).

rows		to	toggle				between				5:39 PM

Salt	Efficiency				has	three			options.
High		Performance,						Salt	Efficient	and Max. Salt Effi-
cient.		Using			Sodium			Chloride		(NaC1) with these op-
tions,		High		Performance					allows	the softener to operate

at a normal efficiency rate. This is good for house- holds with high water usage. At the Salt Efficient set-

ting, the softener operates at a mininmm of 4,000 grains per pound of salt and set at Max. Salt Efficient, the softener operates at a mininmn_ of 4,250 grains per pound of salt. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to move the black bar over your choice. Press SELECI, and a warning screen will appear. Changing this setting will

affect performance. Choose either Cancel or Accept. Display will return to Salt Options menu, press SE- LECI' once more to return to normal operating screen. NOTE: The state of California requires a setting of Salt Efficient or Max. Salt Efficient.
