SANITIZE YOUR WATER SOFTENER AS FOLLOWS: 1. Be certain the bypass valve is pulled out to “service” position. 2. Lift the salt hole cover and using a pail add up to 3 gallons of water to the salt storage tank. 3. Remove the brine well cover (Fig. 28) and pour about 3/4 ounce, or 1 to 2 tablespoons, of common 5.25%1, unscented, household bleach (Clorox, Linco, BoPeep, White Sail, Eagle, etc.) in the softener brinewell. Replace the brinewell cover. 4. Press the REGENERATION button and hold for 3 seconds to start a recharge. This first recharge does several things. • It draws the bleach into and through the softener to sanitize it. • It fills the salt tank to the water level needed. • It gets all the air out of the resin tank. • It prepares the resin bed (see page 25) for service and flushes residual chlorine from the softener. NOTE: This recharge takes about 2-1/2 to 2-3/4 hours, depending on the salt type setting. NOTE: During a recharge the water softener bypasses raw water to the home. You will not get salty water or affect the regeneration cycle if water is used at this time. You can sanitize the softener with or without salt in the storage tank. 1 Recommended by the Water Quality Association. On some water supplies, the water softener may need peri odic disinfecting. 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. To drain the water heater, open a hot water faucet and let it run until the water runs cold. Then close the faucet. NOTE: If this procedure is performed on a new softener, water coming from the taps may initially be discolored. This normally occurs the first time water runs through the resin bed. The discolored water is not harmful, and the discoloration will not last more than a few minutes.

Call The Kenmore Water Line 1-800-426-9345 Adding Salt To The Storage Tank ADDING SALT TO THE STORAGE TANK Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each and every regeneration. The water for making brine is metered into the salt storage tank by the softener. You must keep salt in the tank, but because the water softener is very efficient, it is not necessary to keep it full. Especially in humid areas, it is best to fill the storage tank one quarter to one 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. Before adding salt, be sure the brinewell cover is in place on the top of the brinewell. It is recommended to set the salt monitor system, although it is not required for proper operation. NOTE: The salt monitor system is calibrated to the density of nugget or pellet water softener salt. The monitor will not work as accurately with other types of salt including rock and solar. 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 KCI 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 brine well (black tube in salt storage tank) monthly. If hardening is present, pour small amounts of warm water on hardened areas until they loosen. 4. If your softener does not have a KCI salt setting you must increase your hardness setting by 25% to ensure continuous soft water as in example below. Raw Water Hardness Softener Setting (Grains Per Gallon) When Using KCI 5 gpg 7 gpg 10 gpg 13 gpg 15 gpg 19 gpg 20 gpg + 25 % = 25 gpg 25 gpg 32 gpg 30 gpg 38 gpg 35 gpg 44 gpg 40 gpg 50 gpg Salt Storage Tank Brinewell Cover Brinewell FIG.29 Persons who are on sodium restricted diets should consider 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 2-1/2 slices of white bread. 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 recommended to use Sears Resin Bed Cleaner (refer to the Parts List in back of manual for part number) for periodic treatmen...
