SO E.ER START-UP

1E.
FILL THE STORAGE TANK WITH SALT
Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each
and every regeneration. The water for making
bdne is metered into the salt storage tank by the
softener. However, you must keep the tank filled
with salt.
Fill the tank with NUGGET or PELLET water
softener salt. DO NOT use rock salts, as they
have dirt and sediments that will stop the
softener from working.
Before filling, be sure the brinewell cover is in
place on the top of the brinewell. Salt storage
capacity is shown on page 18.
NOTE:
In humid areas, it is best to fill the storage tank
half-full, and to refill it more often. Salt bridging
(see page 14) occurs more often when condi-
tions are humid.
WATER ,SOFTENING SALT WITH IRON RE-
MOVING ADDITIVES
-- Some salts have an
additive to help the softener handle iron in the
water supply. Although this additive may help to
keep the softener resin clean, it may also release
corrosivefumes that will weaken and shorten the
life of some softener parts.
ADD SALT

SODIUM INFORMATION: Water softeners us-
ing sodium chlodde for regeneration add sodium
to the water. Persons who are on sodium
restricted diets should consider the added so-
dium as part of their overall sodium intake.
For example, if your water supply is 15 grains
hard, you would have to drink 3 quarts of
softened water to consume 335 milligrams of
sodium. That is equivalent to eating 2-1/2 slices
of white bread.
Persons who are concemed about their ddnking
water should consider a Sears Drinking Water
System that will remove or reduce in excess of
90% of the sodium and other drinking water
contaminants.
YOU HAVE NOW FINISHED THE WATER SOFTENER START-UP. AFTER THE SANITIZING RE-
CHARGE, ON PAGE 8, THE SOFTENER WILL BE GIVING YOU SOFT WATER.
