NOTE: If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it by adding to the water hardness

for your hardness number.

Salt Type alk)ws you to choose between sodium chloride (NaC1), which is regular softener salt,
or potassium chloride (KC1), which is an alternative to sodium chloride. KC1 (potassium chloride)
may be used if the user of the water softener is on a sodium restricted diet and is concerned about
the amount of sodium in the water supply. See "Water Conditioning hfformation" section.
KC1 should be used in accordance to the following steps to help give you years of maintenance
free service.
Place one bag only 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);
NOTE: 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);
