Sanitizing Procedures
To complete the installation, do the following sanitizing procedures.
Care is taken at the factory to keep your water softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make the
softener will not infect or contaminate your water supply and will not cause bacteria to form or grow.
However, during shipping, storage, installing and operating, bacteria could get into the softener.
For this reason, sanitizing as follows is suggested when installing.
NOTE: Sanitizing is recommended by the Water Quality Association for disinfecting.
Be sure to complete all installation steps, including timer programming.
Pour about 3/4 oz. of common 5.25% household bleach (Clorox, Linco, Bo Peep, White Sail,
Eagle, etc.) into the
brinewell

from the resin tank. Turn on the cold soft water faucets and drain for a few minutes or until clear.

NOTE:
When the above sanitizing regeneration is over, your house
COLD
water supply is fully soft
immediately. However, your water heater is filled with hard water and as hot water is used, it will refill
with soft water. When all the hard water is replaced in the water heater, hot only and mixed hot and
cold water will be fully soft. If you want totally soft water immediately, after the above regeneration,
drain the water heater until the water runs cold.
WARNING:
If you do drain the water heater, use extreme care as the hot water could cause burns.
Turn the water heater off prior to draining.
