the brine line, add about (3) gallons of water,
and add the new salt.
F. Changing the Control Valve Settings
It is not necessary to change the control valve
settings other than the ones described in
step (6). Over the course of several months
it is possible the display will not show the
correct time of day due to power fluctuations.
Reset the control to the correct time of day. If
your feed water hardness changes, reset the
control to the new hardness. Other settings
are programmed at the factory for optimum
efficiency and do not need to be changed.

water to pass through the softener. See the
diagram in Step 1 for instructions on bypass-
ing the softener. The instructions are also
shown on top of the bypass valve. Make sure
you depressurize the system before perform-
ing any service or removing the softener.
See the "WARNING" in the troubleshooting
section below.
J. Vacations or extended periods of non-use
It is not necessary to shut down the softener
for periods of non-use equal to two-week to
one-month vacations. If however, you are a
temporary resident and leave for periods of
four to six months, we recommend you shut
the softener down. Put the softener in bypass
and unplug it. When you return you will need
to start the softener up. Make sure there are
approximately (3) gallons of water in the
brine tank, plug the softener in, and manually
regenerate the softener.

The softening process does add some so-
dium or potassium to the conditioned water.
The following chart shows approximately
how much sodium or potassium is added to
one quart of conditioned water based on the
amount of feed water hardness.

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.
