MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

This unit is designed and constructed to treat the most difficult
of water. Various screens have been included in the system to
protect orifices.
BEFORE doing any service work, be sure all screens are clean
and will pass water. Periodic cleaning of the screens will
ensure long-term unit performance.
Lack of treated (soft) water is intermittent
Intermittent is often indicated by untreated water from
the heater (hot water) while the cold water tastes good.
Intermittent indicates excess water usage, a change in water
chemistry, or an improper frequency of regeneration. Review
