I. Disinfection of the Water Softener
The materials of construction of the modern
water conditioner will not support bacterial
growth, nor will these materials contaminate a
water supply. However, during normal use, a
conditioner may become fouled with organic
matter or in some cases with bacteria from
the feed water supply. This may result in an
off-taste or odor in the water.Therefore, your
conditioner may need to be disinfected after
installation. Some conditioners will require
periodic disinfection during their normal
life. Consult your installing dealer for more
information on disinfecting your conditioner.
Depending upon the conditions of use, the
style of conditioner, the type of ion exchanger,
and the disinfectant available, a choice can
be made among the following methods.
