SALT...REFILLING STORAGE TANK/BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE

WHEN TO REFILL WITH SALT: Check the salt

level a few weeks after you install the softener and every week after that. Refill when the stora_oe tank is about 113 full. Never let the

softener use all the salt before refilling. Without salt, you will soon have hard water.

IMPORTANT:

YOU WILL HAVE A LOSS IN SOFTENING CAPACITY AND MAY GET PARTLY HARD

WATER IF LESS THAN 10 INCHES OF SALT IS IN THE STORAGE TANK.

PLEASE SEE PAGE 9 FOR SALT FILLING DIRECTIONS.

SALT BRIDGE

Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in the salt storage tank. It is usually caused by high humidity or the wrong kind of sail When the salt bridges, an empty space forms between the water and salt. Then salt will not dissolve (melt) in the water to make brine. Without brine, the

resin bed does not regenerate and you will have hard water.

If the storage tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if

you have a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but the bridge is under it. The following is the best way to check for a salt bridge.

Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of

the tank. Hold a broom handle, or like tool, up to the softener as shown in FIG. 9. Make a pencil mark on the handle, 1" or 2" below the top height of the rim. Then, carefully push it straight down into the salt. If a hard object is felt before the pencil mark gets to the top of the tank, it'smost !ikely a salt bddge. Carefully push intothe bddge in a few places to break it. DO NOT TRY TO

BREAK THE SALT BRIDGE BY POUNDING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE SALT TANK. YOU MAY DAMAGE IT.

If the wrong kind of salt made the bddge, take it out. Then fill the tank with nugget or pellet salt only.
