a r
dding egenerant
Make sure your salt storage tank never runs out of regenerant. Refill regenerant
anytime before water is visible in the brine drum or softener cabinet (on cabinet
models). Use Kinetico Water Softener Salt, available from most Kinetico dealers,
or another quality brand. Some salts contain foreign particles which can cause
problems with your system, so be sure to use a quality grade of salt, processed
especially for use in water softeners. If you choose to use potassium chloride,
contact your local authorized Kinetico dealer to find out about the recommended
adjustments to your system. Your Kinetico dealer can also recommend or perform
a schedule of periodic maintenance. DO NOT USE ROCK SALT, as it often contains
significant levels of dirt or foreign matter.
