Adding Regenerant
Make sure your salt storage tank never runs out of regenerant. Refill
regenerant anytime before water is visible in the brine drum or softener
cabinet (on cabinet models). Use Kinetico Water Softener Salt, avail-
able from most Kinetico dealers, or another quality brand. Some salts
contain foreign particles which can cause problems with your system
so be sure to use a quality grade of salt, processed especially for use in
water softeners. If you choose to use potassium chloride, contact your
local authorized Kinetico dealer to find out about the recommended
adjustments to your system. Your Kinetico dealer can also recommend
or perform a schedule of periodic maintenance. DO NOT USE ROCK
SALT, as it often contains significant levels of dirt or foreign matter.
Manual Regeneration
If your salt storage tank does run out of salt, you can manually regenerate
the unit after adding salt, or you can wait for it to go through regeneration
automatically.
