INLET This system conforms to NSF/ANSI 44 for the specific capacity claims as verified and substantiated by test data. * Testing was performed using pellet grade sodium chloride as the regenerant salt. ** Efficiency rating is valid only at the lowest stated salt dosage. This softener was efficiency rated according to NSF/ANSI 44. *** Extent of iron removal may vary with conditions. The capacity to reduce clear water iron is substantiated by WQA test data. State of Wisconsin requires additional treatment if water supply contains greater than 5 ppm clear water iron. Use of Diamond Crystal® Red•Out® or Super Iron Out® will improve iron removal. Refer to Cleaning Iron Out of the Water Softening System section. **** Canada working pressure limits: 1.4–7.0 kg/cm2. 12 About the water softener system. ge.com Service When the water softening system is providing soft water, it is called “Service.” During service, hard water flows from the house main water pipe into the water softening system. Inside the water softening system resin tank is a bed made up of thousands of tiny, plastic resin beads. As hard water passes through the bed, each bead attracts and holds the hard minerals. This is called ion-exchanging. It is much like a magnet attracting and holding metals. Water without hard minerals (soft water) flows from the water softening system and to the house pipes. After a period of time, the resin beads become coated with hard minerals and they have to be cleaned. This cleaning is called recharge. Recharge is started at 2:00 AM (factory setting) by the water softening system control, and consists of five stages or cycles. These are FILL, BRINING, BRINE RINSE, BACKWASH and FAST RINSE. Automatic Hard Water Bypass During Recharge For emergency needs, hard water is available However, you should avoid using HOT water to the home during the recharge cycles. because the water heater will fill with the hard water. Fill Backwash Salt dissolved in water is called brine. Brine is During backwash, water travels up through needed to clean the hard minerals from resin the resin tank at a fast flow rate, flushing beads. To make the brine, water flows into the accumulated iron, dirt and sediments salt storage area during the fill stage. from the resin bed and to the drain. Brining Fast Rinse During brining, brine travels from the salt storage Backwash is followed by a fast flow of water area into the resin tank. Brine is the cleaning down through the resin tank. The fast flow agent needed to remove hard minerals from the flushes brine from the bottom of the tank, resin beads. The hard minerals and brine are and packs the resin bed. discharged to the drain. After fast rinse, the water softening system The nozzle and venturi create a suction to move returns to soft water service. the brine, maintaining a very slow rate to get the best resin cleaning with the least salt. Brine Rinse After a pre-measured amount of brine is used, the brine valve closes. Water continues to flow in the same path as during brining, except for the discontinued brine flow. Hard minerals and brine flush from the resin tank to the drain. About the water softener system. Breaking a Salt Bridge Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in the salt storage area. It is usually caused by high humidity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt bridges, an empty space forms between the water and salt. Then salt will not dissolve in the water to make brine. If the brine tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if you have a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but the bridge is under it. The following is the best way to check for a salt bridge. Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of the tank. Take a broom handle or like tool, and carefully push it down into the salt, working it up and down. If the tool strikes a hard object (be sure it’s not the bottom or sides of the tank), it’s most likely a salt bridge. Carefully break the bridge with the tool. Do not pound on the walls of the tank. If the wrong kind of salt made the bridge, take it out. Then fill the tank with nugget or pellet salt only. In humid areas, it is best to fill with less salt, more often to prevent a salt bridge from forming. Push tool into salt bridge to break Pencil mark Broom handle 1.–2. Salt Salt bridge Water level Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi Assembly A clean nozzle and venturi is needed for the water softening system to work properly. This small unit makes the suction to move brine from the salt storage area to the resin tank during recharge. If it becomes plugged with sand, dirt, etc., the water softening system will not work and you will get hard water. To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the water softening system top cover. Be sure the water softening system is in service cycle (no water pressure at nozzle and venturi). Then, while holdin...
