CLEANING
THE NOZZLE
AND VENTURI ASSEMBLY
..............................
A clean nozzle and venturi
is needed for the soft-
ener to work
right. This small unit makes the suc-
tion to move brine from the salt storage
area to the
resin
tank
during
regeneration.
If
it
becomes
plugged with sand, silt, dirt, etc., the softener
will not
work and you will get hard water.
To get to the nozzle and venturi,
remove the softener
top cover. Be sure the softener
is in service
cycle (no
water
pressure
at nozzle
and venturi).
Then, while
holding
the nozzle
& venturi
housing
with 1 hand,
turn
off the cap.
Lift out the screen
support
and
screen,
then the nozzle and venturi.
Wash and rinse
the parts in warm water until clean.
If needed,
use
a small brush to remove iron or dirt. Also check and
clean the gasket.
NOTE:
Some models have a smarl flow plug located
in the
nozzle
and venturi,
and/or
a small
cone
shaped
screen in the housing.
Be sure to check and
clean these parts, if your model
is so equipped.
Carefully
replace
all parts in the correct order. Lubri-
cate the o-ring seal with silicone
grease
and place
in position.
Install
and tighten
the cap, BY HAND
ONLY. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN
AN D BREAK THE
CAP OR HOUSING.
