which is an alternative to
sodium chloride. KC1 should be used in accordance to
the following steps to help give you years of mainte-
nance free service.
1) Place only one bag of KC1 in your softener at a time
(the salt storage tank should contain no more than 60
pounds of KC1 at any one time),
2) A softener using KC1 should not be placed in areas
with high temperature changes or high humidity (KC1
will harden in these environments and may make the
softener inoperable),
3) Check the brine tank and brinewell (black tube in
salt storage tank) monthly, if hardening is present,
pour small amounts of warm water on hardened areas
until they loosen.
4) Be sure to set the correct salt type depending on
which salt type is used (NaC1 or KC1).
Use the UP or DOWN ar-
rows to toggle between
NaC1 or KC1 and press SE-

the normal operating screen will display KC1 in the
lower right hand corner of the display.
Salt Efficiency has three options.
High Performance, Salt Efficient and Max. Salt Effi-
cient. Using Sodium Chloride (NaC1) with these op-
tions, High Performance allows the softener to operate
at a normal efficiency rate. This is good for house-
holds with high water usage. At the Salt Efficient set-
ting, the softener operates at a mininmm of 4,000
grains per pound of salt and set at Max. Salt Efficient,
the softener operates at a mininmn_ of 4,250 grains per
pound of salt. Use the UP or DOWN arrows to move
the black bar over your choice. Press SELECI, and a
warning screen will appear. Changing this setting will
affect performance. Choose either Cancel or Accept.
Display will return to Salt Options menu, press SE-
LECI' once more to return to normal operating screen.
NOTE: The state of California requires a setting of Salt
Efficient or Max. Salt Efficient.
