KC1 should
be used in accordance
to
the following
steps to help give you years of mainte-
nance free service.
1) Place only one bag of KC1 in your softener
at a time
(the salt storage
tank should
contain
no more than 60
pounds
of KC1 at any one time),
2) A softener
using
KC1 should
not be placed
in areas
with high temperature
changes
or high humidity
(KC1
will harden
in these environments
and may make the
softener
inoperable),
3) Check
the brine
tank and brinewell
(black
tube in
salt storage
tank)
monthly,
if hardening
is present,
pour small amounts
of warm
water on hardened
areas
until they loosen.
4) Be sure to set the correct
