After
all installation
steps
have
been
completed:
I. Make
sure the bypass
valve(s)
is in the "service"
(open)
position.
2. Start
a recharge:
Press the REGENERATION
button
and
hold
for 3 seconds,
until
"RECHARGE",
"Serv"
and
"Fill"
begin
to flash
in the display.
The recharge
will
take
about
2 hours
to complete.
3. After
the recharge
has completed,
fully
open
a cold
water
faucet,
downstream
from
the softener,
and
allow
50 gallons
of water
to pass through
the system.
This should
take
at least
20 minutes.
4. Close the faucet.
Your new Sears softener
is now softening
the water
for
your household
needs.
However, your WATER HEATER
is filled
with
hard water.
To have fully soft water
right
away, you can drain the water
heater so it refills with
soft water.
If you don't drain the water
heater, it will
take a few days before you have fully soft water.
NOTE: If this procedure
is performed
on a new softener,
water
coming
from the taps may initially
be dis-
colored.
This normally
occurs the first time
water
runs through
the resin bed.
The discol-
ored water
is not harmful,
and the discoloration
will not last more than a few minutes.
ADDING
SALT TO THE STORAGE
TANK
You must keep salt in the tank, but it is not necessary
to
fill it full.
Especially
in humid areas, it is best to fill the
storage tank no more than half full, and to add salt
more often.
Salt "bridging"
occurs
more often when
conditions
are humid.
Use NUGGET
or PELLET water
softener
salt.
DO NOT
use rock salts, as they have dirt and sediments
that will
stop the softener
from working.
To maintain
optimum
performance
of your water
softener,
the salt tank
should be cleaned
out every 2 to 3 years.
POTASSIUM
CHLORIDE
(I(CI)
SALT
If you choose Potassium Chloride
(KCI) as a regenerant,
following
these suggestions
will help give you years of
maintenance
free service.
1. Place only one bag of KCI in your softener
at a time
(the salt storage
tank should contain
no more than
60 pounds of KCI at any one time).
2. A softener
using I<CI should not be placed
in areas
with temperature
fluctuations
and high humidity
(KCI
will harden in these environments
and may make the
softener inoperable).
3. Check the brine tank and brinewell
(black
tube in
salt storage tank) monthly.
If hardening
is present,
pour small amounts
of warm
water
onto hardened
areas until they loosen.
4.
Be sure to set "Salt
Type"
on the controller
to "KCI".
This setting
adjusts
the regeneration
cycle
times
to
compensate
for
the different
rate
at which
KCI dis-
solves.
See
"Set
Salt
Type"
on the previous
page.
Persons
who
are on sodium
restricted
diets
should
con-
sider
the added
sodium
as part
of their
overall
sodium
intake.
For example,
if your
water
supply
is 15 grains
hard,
and you
drank
3 quarts
of softened
water
you
would
consume
335
milligrams
of sodium.
That
is
equivalent
to eating
2-I/2
slices
of white
bread.
Persons
who
are concerned
about
their
drinking
water
should
consider
a Kenmore
reverse
osmosis
drinking
water
system
that
will
remove
in excess
of 90°/o
of the
sodium
and
other
drinking
water
contaminants.
WATER SOFTENING
SALT WITH
IRON
REMOVING
ADDITIVES
Some salts have an additive
to help the softener
handle
iron in the water
supply.
These salts may be used if
your water
supply has a high iron content.
It is recom-
mended
to use Sears Water
Softener
Cleaner
(refer to
the parts list in back of manual
for part number) for
periodic
treatments
to keep your resin bed clean.
This
is available
at your local Sears store.
