t HOW YOUR WATER SOFTEN WORKS
EXTRA REGENERATION
Sometimes,
you may
run out of soft water.
This
can
happen
if more
than
the
normal
amount of water is used. For example,
you will
use more water if you have overnight guests. If
you do run out of soft water, move the knob on
the face
plate
to "EXTRA
REGEN"
(Fig. 23).
Within
a few minutes, a regeneration
will start.
In 2 hours, you will have soft water
again:
The
knob
will return
to "SOFT
WATER"
by
itself, when the regeneration
is over. You can't
stop
the extra
regeneration
after
you have
moved the knob to that position.

VACATION
Going on a vacation,
or a long business
trip?
Just
move
the
knob
on
the
face
plate
to
"VACATION".
The timer will keep on running
and stay at the correct
time, but regeneration
will not happen. This will save you soft water
and salt. When you return, move the knob back
to "SOFT
WATER".
IMPORTANT:
If water to your outside
faucets
is softened,
move
the knob to "VACATION"
while sprinkling the lawn or garden. In "VACA.
TION"
the softener
bypasses
hard water.
If
you're washing the oar, keep the knob at soft
water. Soft water is ideal for cleaning.

BRINE and SALT
Brine (salt dissolved
in water)
is needed
for
each
and every regeneration.
The
water
for
making
brine is metered
into the salt storage
tank by the softener.
However,
you must keep
the tank filled with salt.
WHEN
TO REFILL WITH SALT: Check
the salt
level a few weeks after you install the softener
and
every week
after
that.
Refill
when
the
storage
tank is about
half
full.
Never let the
softener
use
all
the
salt
before
refilling.
Without
salt, you will soon
have hard
water.
Fill up to, but not over the nozzle and venturi
(Fig. 25). BE SURE THE BRINEWELL
COVER IS
IN PLACE.
