4 SECTION 1 WATER SOFTENER START-UP 1A. SAFETY GUIDES Read all steps, guides and rules carefully before installing and using your new water softener. Follow all steps exactly to correctly install. Failure to follow them could cause personal injury or property damage. Reading this book will also help you to get all of the benefits from your water softener. Your water softener will remove hardness minerals and clear water iron from water, up to the limits shown on page 19. It will not remove other types of iron, acids, tastes and odors, etc. It will not purify polluted water or make it safe to drink. Protect the softener and piping from freezing. Damage from freezing voids the softener warranty. See page 17. CAUTIONS PLEASE READ AND COMPLY WITH THE FOL- LOWING GUIDES TO PREVENT DAMAGE TO THE SOFTENER OR OTHER PROPERTY, PERSONAL INJURY, OR POSSIBLE FATAL SHOCK. THIS SOFTENER WORKS ON 24 VOLTS ONLY. BE SURE TO USE THE TRANSFORMER INCLUDED, AND PLUG IT INTO A 120V OUT- LET. Unplug the transformer right away if the power cable sould become damaged or frayed. Make repairs before plugging back into the power outlet. Always unplug the softener from electrical power before removing outer valve covers. 4

TO HELP YOU SAVE MONEY NOTES: PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION NO SOFT WATER No salt (or salt bridged) in the storage tank Refill with salt, or break the salt bridge (page 15). Press ON/OFF-HOLD (RECHARGE NOW) button and hold for 3 seconds to start a regeneration (see page 10). Transfomer unplugged at the wall outlet, or power cable leads loose, fuse blown, circuit breaker popped, or circuit switched off. Manual bypass valve(s) in bypass position Dirty, plugged or damaged nozzle & venturi Valve drain hose plugged Check for loss of power due to any of these and correct. With the power back on, look at the time display and read PROGRAM MEMORY, page 11. Look at FIG. 12 on page 19. Move the stem in a single valve to service. In a 3-valve bypass, open the inlet and outlet valves, and be sure to fully close the bypass valve. Take apart and clean or replace damaged parts (see page 16). The drain hose must not have kinks, sharp bends, or be raised too high above the softener (see page 16 in your installation manual). WATER HARD SOMETIMES Hardness number setting too low Press and release the SELECT button until HARDNESS shows in the display. Read the hardness number in the display and be sure the same grains per gallon number is shown on your water analysis report. See page 7 to reset. Press and release the SELECT button until the present time shows in the display. Using hot water when softener is regenerating Avoid using hot water during this time because the water heater refills with hard water (see Automatic Bypass, page 14). Increase in the grains of hardness in your water supply Ask your Sears retail or catalog store for a new water analysis. Then make a new hardness number setting (page 7). 18
