CARE OF YOUR SOFTENER

II

3A. 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 storage tank is about 1/3 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.

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, as shown. 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's most likely a salt bridge. Carefully push into the bridge 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 the tank.

If the wrong kind of salt was the cause of the bridge, take it OUt. Then fill the tank with nugget or pellet salt only.
