    How Your Water Conditioner Works Why Water Gets Hard And How It Is Softened All of the fresh water in the world originally falls as rain, snow, or sleet. Surface water is drawn upward by the sun, forming clouds. Then, nearly pure and soft as it starts to fall, it begins to collect impurities as it passes through smog and dust-laden atmosphere.

    The softener or filter is now charged with softening resin. g. It is recommended that the softener or filter tank now be completely filled with water (SLOWLY) to soak the resin or filtra- tion media before startup.

This will reduce the chance of backwashing resin or filter media out of the tank during the initial backwash on startup.
