Aboutthe water softener system.
Breaking a Sail Bridge
Sometimes, a hard crest or salt bridge fiwms in tile sah storage area. It
is umally cruised by high humidity or the wrong Idnd of sah. When tile
sail bridges, an empty space fi)rms between the water and salt. Then
sall will not dissolve in the water to make brine.
If tile brine tank is flfll of salt, it is hard to tell if you ha,_e a salt bridge.
Sah is loose on top, but tile bridge is under it. Tile fi)llowing is tile best
way to (he(k fi)r a salt bridge.
Salt should be loose all the way to tile bottom of the tank. Take a
broom handle or like tool, and carefiflly push it do_m into tile salt,
worldng it tip and do_m. If tile tool suikes a hmd object (be sure it's not
the bou()m or sides of the tank), it's most likely a salt bridge. Carefiflly
break the bridge with the tool. Oo not pound on the walls of the tank.
If tile wrong kind of salt made tile bridge, take it out. Then fill tile tank
with nugget or pellet salt only. In humid areas it is best to fill with less
sail, I;tlore otlen.

fl'om tile salt storage area to tile resin tank during regeneration. Ifit
becomes plugged with sand, dirt, etc., the water softening system will
not work and you will get hard water.
To get to tile nozzle and venmri, rem()ve tile water softening system

rinse the parts in warm water until clean. If needed, use a small brash
to remove iron or dirt. Also check and clean the gasket.
