from the resin bed and to the drain. Brining Fast Rinse During brining, brine travels from the salt storage Backwash is followed by a fast flow of water area into the resin tank. Brine is the cleaning down through the resin tank. The fast flow agent needed to remove hard minerals from the flushes brine from the bottom of the tank, resin beads. The hard minerals and brine are and packs the resin bed. discharged to the drain. After fast rinse, the water softening system The nozzle and venturi create a suction to move returns to soft water service. the brine, maintaining a very slow rate to get the best resin cleaning with the least salt. Brine Rinse After a pre-measured amount of brine is used, the brine valve closes. Water continues to flow in the same path as during brining, except for the discontinued brine flow. Hard minerals and brine flush from the resin tank to the drain. About the water softener system. Breaking a Salt Bridge Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in the salt storage area. It is usually caused by high humidity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt bridges, an empty space forms between the water and salt. Then salt will not dissolve in the water to make brine. If the brine tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if you have a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but the bridge is under it. The following is the best way to check for a salt bridge. Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of the tank. Take a broom handle or like tool, and carefully push it down into the salt, working it up and down. If the tool strikes a hard object (be sure it’s not the bottom or sides of the tank), it’s most likely a salt bridge. Carefully break the bridge with the tool. Do not pound on the walls of the tank. If the wrong kind of salt made the bridge, take it out. Then fill the tank with nugget or pellet salt only. In humid areas, it is best to fill with less salt, more often to prevent a salt bridge from forming. Push tool into salt bridge to break Pencil mark Broom handle 1.–2. Salt Salt bridge Water level Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi Assembly A clean nozzle and venturi is needed for the water softening system to work properly. This small unit makes the suction to move brine from the salt storage area to the resin tank during recharge. If it becomes plugged with sand, dirt, etc., the water softening system will not work and you will get hard water. To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the water softening system top cover. Be sure the water softening system is in service cycle (no water pressure at nozzle and venturi). Then, while holding the nozzle and venturi housing with one hand, remove 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 small 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. Lightly lubricate the o-ring seal with clean silicone grease or petroleum jelly and place in position. Install and tighten the cap, by hand only. Do not overtighten the cap.

When the demand computer determines a recharge is needed, RECHARGE TONIGHT begins to flash in the display along with the present time. RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes until the next recharge start time, then changes to RECHARGE, which flashes until the recharge is over. Feature: Optional Recharge Controls Sometimes, a manually started recharge may be desired or needed. Two examples: You have used more water than usual (house guests, extra washing, etc.) and you may run out of soft water before the next recharge. The system ran out of salt. Use one of the following features to start a recharge immediately, or at the next preset recharge start time. RECHARGE TONIGHT Touch (do not hold) the RECHARGE button. RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes in the control display area. A recharge will occur at the next preset recharge start time. If you decide to cancel this recharge, touch the same button once more. RECHARGE Press and hold the RECHARGE button until RECHARGE starts to flash in the control display area. The water softening system begins an immediate recharge and, when over in about two hours, you will have a new supply of soft water. Once started, you cannot cancel this recharge. Feature: Memory If electrical power to the water softening system is int...
