1D. SANITIZING THE WATER SOFTENER

Care is taken at the factory to keep your water softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the softener will not infect or contaminate your water supply, and will not cause bacteria to form or grow. However, during shipping, storage, installing and operating, bacteria could get into the softener. For this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested¬ when installing.

1. The first time you sanitize your softener, be sure to do all steps in the installation manual, and on pages 5, 6 and 7 of this manual first.

2. Lift the salt hole cover and use a pail or hose to fill the salt storage tank with at least 3 gallons of water.

3. Remove the brinewell cover (FIG. 3) and pour about 3/4 ounce of common 5.25% household bleach (Clorox, Linco, BoPeep, White Sail, Eagle, etc.) in the softener brinewell.

4. Press the ON/OFF-HOLDbutton and hold for 3 seconds to start a recharge. This first recharge does several things.

—It draws the bleach into and through the soft- ener to sanitize it.

—It fills the salt tank to the water level needed.

—It gets all the air out of the resin tank.

—It prepares the resin bed (see page 13) for ser- vice.

NOTES:

This recharge takes about 2- 1/2 or 2- 3/4 hours, depending on the salt type setting (page 7).

You can sanitize the softener with or with- out salt in the storage tank.

¬Recommended by the Water Quality Association. On some water supplies, the water softener may need pe- riodic disinfecting.
