installation; some will require periodic disinfection
during their normal life. In a few cases, disinfection with

softener, the type of ion exchanger, and the disinfectant
available, a choice can be made among the following
methods:
Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite
5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite
IMPORTANT: Do not use any other chemical substance with
out manufacturer approval.

ADDING SALT

NOTE: Your softener comes pre-charged and will supply you
with a day or two of soft water. Salt must be added to
the salt tank for the system to regenerate properly. This
must be done within the fi rst 24 - 28 hours. For the
start up use the 10Kg salt bag included
Types of Salt
Any pellet type salt is recommended due to its cleanliness
and availability. Other salts such as block, solar and rock salt
can be used; however, they may alter performance or cause
maintenance problems.
Amount of Salt
One tank units have a salt capacity of (see table pag 2).
You are not required to fi ll your salt tank to capacity. It is
recommended that the salt level in the salt tank always be
above the water level in the tank. This will assure that the unit
always has the correct salt dosage when it regenerates.

This unit is designed and constructed to treat the most diffi cult
of water. Various screens have been included in the system to
protect orifi ces.
BEFORE doing any service work, be sure all screens are clean
