Fill the brine tank with salt. You may want to mark the level of water in the brine tank when
completely refilled with water and full of salt. In the future, after each regeneration, you can
visually control that the quantity of water refilled should be between the 2 marks done. Marking
are optional, but may allow to visually detect a irregularity during regeneration that may lead to
softener inefficiency.

With the brine tank completely refilled and full of salt, adjust the safety brine valve in the brine
well. Make sure the overflow elbow is installed above the float level.

The system is ready and in service.
7.2.
Sanitization
7.2.1. Disinfection of water softeners
The materials of construction of the modern water softener will not support bacterial growth, nor will
these materials contaminate a water supply. In addition, during normal use, a softener may become
polluted with organic matter, or in some cases with bacteria from the water supply. This may result
in an off-taste or odor in the water.
Thus, your softener may need to be disinfected after installation. Some softeners will require periodic
disinfection during their normal lifetime. Consult your installing dealer for more information on
disinfecting your softener.
Depending on the conditions of use, the softener type, the type of ion exchanger, and the disinfectant
available, a choice can be made among the following methods.
7.2.2. Sodium or calcium hypochlorite
These materials are satisfactory for use with polystyrene resins, synthetic gel zeolite, greensand and
bentonites.
5.25% Sodium hypochlorite
If stronger solutions are used, such as those sold for commercial laundries, adjust the dosage
accordingly.
