KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN

NOZZLE & VENTURI

A clean nozzle and venturi (see Fig. 47) is a must for the softener 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 softener will not work and you will get hard water.

To clean the nozzle and venturi, complete the following steps:

1.Remove the softener top cover. Be sure the softener is in service cycle (no water pressure at nozzle and venturi).

2.Turn off the cap from the nozzle and venturi housing.

3.Lift out the screen support and screen. Do not lose the large o-ring seal.

4.Remove 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, flow plugs and screens.

5.Carefully replace all parts in the correct order.

6.Lubricate the o-ring seal with silicone grease or Vaseline and place in position.

7.Install and tighten the cap, by hand only. Do not overtighten, which may break the cap or housing.

IRON FROM RESIN BED

Your water softener takes hardness minerals (calcium

and magnesium) out of the water. It can also control some "clear water" iron. See maximum allowed in the

specifications section in this manual. With clear water iron, water from a faucet is clear when first put into a

glass. After 15 to 30 minutes, the water begins to cloud or turn rust colored. A water softener WILL NOT remove

any iron which makes the water cloudy or rusty as it comes from the faucet (called red water iron). To take red water iron out of water, or over the maximum of clear water iron, an iron filter or other equipment is needed. Your local Sears store has trained people to help you with iron water problems.

If your water supply has clear water iron, even though less than the maximum allowed, regular resin bed

cleaning is needed, Your local Sears store has resin bed cleaner for this, See Parts List in back of manual

for part numbers, Clean the bed at least every six (6) months, If iron shows up in the soft water before six (6) months, clean more often, Printed instructions are on the resin bed cleaner bottle,
