DISINFECTION OF WATER SOFTENERS

NOTE: Every water softener should be disinfected after
installation; some will require periodic disinfection
during their normal life. In a few cases, disinfection
with every regeneration is recommended.
NOTE: Depending upon the conditions of use, the style
of softener, the type of ion exchanger, and the
disinfectant available, a choice can be made among
the following methods:
Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite 5.25% Sodium
Hypochlorite
1. Dosage: 0.75 fluid ounces
2. Backwash the conditioner, and add the hypochlorite solution
EN
to the brine tank. (The brine tank should have water in it to
permit the solution to be carried into the softener.)
3. Proceed with the normal regeneration.

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR

This unit is designed and constructed to treat the most difficult
of water.Various screens have been included in the system to
protect orifices.
BEFORE doing any service work, make sure that all screens are
clean and will pass water. Periodic cleaning of the screens will
insure long-term unit performance.
Lack of treated (soft) water is constant.
1. No salt in tank — Add salt to tank
2. Dirty screens — Clean screens
3. Faulty timer — Replace
4. Faulty timer motor — Replace
Lack of treated (soft) water is intermittent.
Intermittent is often indicated by untreated water from the
heater (hot water) while the cold water tastes good. Intermittent
indicates excess water usage, a change in water chemistry, or an
improper frequency of regeneration. Review entire application.
1. Low salt setting — Adjust brine value
2. Water consumption increased — Check for household leaks
3. Too infrequent regenerations — Review sizing and reset timer
Brine tank overflow
1. Plugged screens or injector — Clean
2. Defective Brine Valve — Clean or replace
3. Defective timer or timer motor — Replace
