D. CLEANING THE

A clean nozzle and venturi (Figure 12) is a must for the filter 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 filter will not work and

you will get unfiltered water.

Be sure the filter is in service cycle (no water pres-

sure at nozzle and venturi), then turn off the cap

from the nozzle and venturi housing. Lift out the

screen support and screen, then the nozzle and

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 and flow plug if dirty.

Carefully replace all parts in the correct order. Lu- bricate the o-ring seal with silicone grease or Vase- line and place in position. Install and tighten the

cap, BY HAND ONLY. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN AND BREAK THE CAP OR HOUSING.

It is recommended that you clean the nozzle and venturi at least three times a year. Clean more often if you notice a difference in water quality.
