CARE OF YOUR SOFTENER

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.

NOZZLE & VENTURI

A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. 10) 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 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), then turn off the cap from the nozzle

and venturi housing. Do not lose the large o-ring seal. Lift out the screen support and screen, 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.

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 overtigh-

ten and break the cap or housing.

NOTE:

Never use cleaners having ammonia or abra-

sives. They may scratch and dull the surface.

IRON FROM THE RESIN BED

Your water softener takes hardness minerals

(calcium and magnesium) out of the water. Also,

it can control some "clear water" iron. See

maximum allowed in the specifications on page

19. 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. Sears has resin bed cleaner, Stock 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.
