CARE OF YOUR WATER SOFTENER

B. KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN

NOZZLE & VENTURI

A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. 11) is a must for the softener to work right. This small unit moves brine from the salt storage tank to the resin tank during re-

generation. If it becomes plugged with sand, silt, dirt, etc., the softener will not work and you will get hard water.

"lb get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the softener top cover. Be sure the softener is in service cycle (no

water pressure at nozzle and venturi).

1)Turn off the cap from the nozzle and venturi hous- ing.

2)Lift out the screen support and screen, do not lose the large o-ring seal.

3)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, flow plugs and screens.

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 overtighten and break

the cap or housing.

IRON FROM RESIN BED

Your water softener takes hardness minerals (cal-

cium and magnesium) out of the water. Also, it can

control some "clear water" iron. See maximum al-

lowed in the specifications on page 4-1. With clear water iron, water from a faucet is clear when first

put into a glass. After 15 to 30 minutes, the water be- gins 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). "lb take red water iron out of water,

or over the maximum of clear water iron, an iron ill-

ter 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, Item No. 42-34426 for this.

Clean the bed at least every 6 months. If iron shows

up in the soft water before 6 months, clean more

often. Printed instructions are on the resin bed

cleaner bottle.
