This small unit makes the suction to move brine from the brine tank storage area to the resin tank during regeneration. If it becomes plugged with sand, dirt, etc., the water softening system will not work and you will get hard water. This will be evident by a high level of water in the brine Injector screen and cap installation tank—over 4. when the system is in service mode. TO CLEAN: •Put system in Bypass mode and relieve water pressure. •Remove injector screen (a flat-head screwdriver is required). •Remove injector cap and injector (needle nose pliers are required). •Clean and flush thoroughly. •Check for damage. •Reassemble injector and injector screen. •To check proper operation, see page 30, Checking the Brine Draw and Refill Function. •Initiate REGEN cycle to restore resin bed. A back-to-back regeneration is suggested. Excess water in the brine tank will be removed. Injector Injector cap Injector screen Care and cleaning of the water softening system. Checking the Salt Storage Level and Refilling Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each and every regeneration. The water for making CAUTION: Water softening salt brine is metered into the salt storage area by the water softening system valve and control. However, you must keep the tank supplied with salt. Use clean water softening salts only, at least 99.5% pure. NUGGET, PELLET or coarse SOLAR salts are recommended. Do not use rock, block, granulated or ice cream making salts. They contain dirt and sediments, or mush and cake, and will create maintenance problems. with iron removing additives: Some salts may have an additive to help the water softening system handle iron in the water supply. Although this additive may help to keep the water softening system resin clean, it may also release corrosive fumes that weaken and shorten the life of some water softening system parts. GE recommends using only Diamond Crystal® Red•Out® brand salt. Cleaning Iron Out of the Water Softening System Your water softening system takes hardness minerals (calcium and magnesium) out of the water. Also, it can control some (see the Specification Guidelines section) “clear water” iron. With clear water iron, water from a faucet is clear when first put into a glass. After 15 to 30 minutes, the water begins to cloud or turn rust colored. A water softening system will not remove any iron that makes the water cloudy or rusty as it comes from the faucet (called red water iron). To take red water iron out of water, or over the maximum of clear water iron, an iron filter or other equipment is needed. GE recommends using only Diamond Crystal® Red•Out® brand salts with Iron Fighter® additive to help keep the resin bed clean of clear iron. If your water supply has clear water iron, periodic resin bed cleaning is needed. GE recommends using Super Iron Out® brand resin bed cleaner to thoroughly clean your resin bed if your iron content is high. Clean the bed at least every six months, or more often if iron appears in the soft water between cleanings. IMPORTANT: It is important to mix the resin bed cleaner with water (following the manufacturer’s instructions), pour it into the brinewell tube (see page 5) and regenerate the softener immediately. Do not pour the resin bed cleaner in with the salt, as it will not be as effective in cleaning the resin, and can cause damage to the softener if it is left in the brine tank for an extended period due to the corrosive gases that are formed. The control has an adjustable backwash cycle. The backwash can be lengthened to better flush the resin bed from high sediment or iron situations. See the Advanced Control Setting section or consult an installer. Also set LBS OF SALT and CAPACITY so the system will regenerate about every 3 days. See page 13. Before you call for service… ge.com Troubleshooting Tips Save time and money! Review the chart on these pages first and you may not need to call for service. NO SOFT WATER – Most Common Problems: Check the following before calling for service: • Not enough salt—brine tank should be at least 1/3 full. • Bypass valve in “Bypass” position—flange on knobs should be in line with pipes (see page 6). •Hardness setting too low. Check hardness setting and adjust. Verify hardness of supply water—from local water company, water test or call the GE Answer Center. • Salt Bridge—salt solidifies above water level so that brine water is not in contact with salt. See the Breaking a Salt Bridge section. Problem Possible Causes What To Do No soft water Faucet or fixture where sample was taken not plumbed to soft water. NOTE: Be sure sample is from a faucet that does not mix soft and hard water. For example, a single lever kitchen faucet, if the cold side is plumbed to hard water. • To conserve salt, the installer may have isolated some fixtures (outside faucets, toilets, etc.) from soft water. From the outlet of the water softening system, trace the water flow path, in house plumbing. If soft water is not directed ...
