SANITIZING THE WATER SOFTENER
Care is taken at the factory to keep your water
softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to
make the softener will not infect or contaminate
your water supply, and will not cause bacteria to
form or grow. However, during shipping, storage,
installing and operating, bacteria could get into
the softener. For this mason, sanitizing as
follows is suggested ® when installing.
1. Lift the salt hole cover and use a pail or hose
to till the salt storage tank with at least 1
gallon of water.
2. Remove the brinewell cover (FIG. 2) and
pour about 3/4 ounce of common 5.25%
household bleach (Clorox, linco, BoPeep,
White Sail, Eagle, etc.) in the softener
brinewelL
3. Press the ON/OFF-HOLD buttonand holdfor
3 seconds to start a recharge. This first
recharge does several things.
It draws the bleach into and through the
softener to sanitize it.
It fills the salt tank to the water level
needed.
It gets all the air out of the resin tank.
--
It makes the resin bed (see page 11)
ready for service.
NOTE:
This recharge takes about 40 minutes.
