Maintaining Your Water Softener
Kinetico engineers every 2020c system to provide you with quality water
without requiring extensive maintenance. Minor, routine maintenance is
necessary to keep your softener working properly.
Should you have any questions or need any assistance, contact your
Kinetico dealer.
Adding Regenerant
Convenient Salt Options
For your convenience, your system was designed to accommodate various
sizes of block salt (where available) and tablet/pellet salt. Use the optional
salt bay extension to increase the salt bay's capacity when using tablet/pel-
let salt. (Depending on where you live, this may already be installed in your
system).To install the extension, simply lift the salt platform from the cab-
inet and insert the side tabs into the corresponding grooves on the exten-
sion. (fig. 5) To use block salt again, remove the extension.
Using Salt Blocks
Using block salt is convenient and easy.To use salt blocks, simply open the
softener cabinet and place them in the salt storage bay (fig. 6). Use the
indicator marks on the back of the salt platform (fig. 7) to determine
when to add new salt blocks.We recommend that you use Kinetico Block
Salt, a clean, premium grade that has been developed and processed specif-
ically for Kinetico systems. Other quality grades of block salt are also
acceptable. Be sure to use salt manufactured for use in water softeners.
Make sure your salt storage bay never runs out of regenerant. If you desire,
your Kinetico dealer can recommend or perform a schedule of periodic
maintenance for checking the salt supply.
