Sanitizing - GE GXSF27B Manual Del Propietário

Step-by-step installation instructions.
Sanitizing Procedures
To complete the installation, do the following sanitizing procedures.
Care is taken at the factory to keep your water softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the softener will not infect or
contaminate your water supply and will not cause bacteria to form or grow. However, during shipping, storage, installing and
operating, bacteria could get into the softener. For this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested when installing.
NOTE: Sanitizing is recommended by the Water Quality Association for disinfecting.
Be sure to complete all installation steps, including programming the control.

If after sanitization water from house faucet tastes salty or has a slight color, this is a preservative from the resin tank. Turn on

the cold soft water faucets and drain for a few minutes or until clear.
NOTE: When the above sanitizing regeneration is over, your house COLD water supply is fully soft immediately. However, your water
heater is filled with hard water and as hot water is used, it will refill with soft water. When all the hard water is replaced in the water
heater, hot only and mixed hot and cold water will be fully soft. If you want totally soft water immediately, after the above
regeneration, drain the water heater until the water runs cold.
WARNING: If you do drain the water heater, use extreme care as the hot water could cause burns. Turn the water heater off
prior to draining.
