PROGRAMTHESOFTENER
Lift the salt lid and follow
the instructions on the decal
to program
the following
into the electronic
controller:
• Current time of day
•
Hardness of your water
supply
• Time of day when automatic
recharges
will begin
• Type of salt you will be using (NaCI or KCI)
In the state of California:
You must turn the Salt
Efficiency
Feature
setting to ON.
This may initiate
more frequent
recharges.
However, it will operate
at
4,000
grains per pound of salt or higher.
To turn on
the Salt Efficiency
Feature, follow
the instructions
in
the "Salt Efficiency"
section of the owner's manual.
NOTE: You can find complete
instructions for programming
the softener
and customizing
features
of the electronic
controller
in the owner's manual.

SANITIZE
THE WATER SOFTENER
1. Open
salt lid, remove the brinewell
cover and pour
about 3 oz. (6 tablespoons)
of household
bleach
into
the softener
brinewell.
Replace
the brinewell
cover.
2. Make sure the bypass valve(s) is in the "service"
(open) position.
3. Start a recharge:
Press the REGENERATION
button
and hold for 3 seconds, until "RECHARGE",
"Serv"
and "Fill" begin to flash in the display.
This recharge
draws
the sanitizing
bleach
into and through
the
water
softener.
Any air remaining
in the unit is
purged to the drain.
4. 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 sys-
tem.
This should take at least 20 minutes.
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 I<CI in your softener
at a time
(the salt storage tank should contain
no more than
60 pounds of I<CI 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. Be sure to set "Salt Type" on the controller
to "I<CI".
This setting adjusts the regeneration
cycle times to
compensate
for the different
rate at which
I<CI dis-
solves.
