3B. KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN

COVERS

To keep your new Sears water softener looking nice, apply a coat of paste wax and repeat once a year. When dusty, wipe it with a damp cloth to keep it sparkling.

NOTE:

Never use cleaners having ammonia or abrasives.

They may scratch and dull the surface.

NOZZLE AND VENTURI

A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. ] 0) 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.

support and screen, then the nozzle and venturi. Wash anti 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.

Carefully replace all parts in the correct order.

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

cap, by hand only. Do not over-tighten and

break the cap or housing.

IRON FROM THE 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

allowed in the specifications on page ] 8. With clear water iron, water from a faucet is clear when first put into a glass. After ] 5 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

tions are on the resin bed cleaner bottle.
