GETTINGIRON OUT OF THE SOFTENER
Your water softener takes hardness minerals
(calcium and magnesium) out of the water.. Also, it
can control "clear water" iron up to the following
maximums.
Model No. 625.3485003- 2 parts per million (ppm)
Model No.

With clear water iron, water from a faucet is clear
when first put into a glass. After 15 to 30 minutes,
the water begins to cloud or turn rust colored,. A water
softener WILL NOT remove any iron if the water is
cloudy or rusty as it comes from the faucet (called
red water iron), To take red water iron out of water,
or over the 2 or 3 ppm maximum of clear water iron,
an iron filter or other equipment is needed Your local
Sears store has trained people to help you with iron
water problems°
If your water supply has clear water iron, even
though less than the 2 or 3 ppm, regular resin bed
cleaning is needed, Sears has resin bed cleaner,
Item No.. 65/42-34425 for this,. Clean the bed at
least every 6 months, If iron shows up in the soft
water before 6 months, clean more often Printed
instructions are on the resin bed cleaner bottle.
KEEP THE SOFTENER FROM FREEZING
If the softener is installed where it could freeze (sum-
mer cabin, lake home, etc.), you must drain all water
from it to stop possible freeze damage.. To drain the
softener
1. Close the shut-off valve on the house main water
pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank,
2o Open a faucet in the soft water pipes to vent
pressure in the softener..

outlet valve in a 3-valve bypass system, and open
the bypass valve..
(If you want water in the house pipes again,
reopen the shuboff valve on the main water pipe)..
Unplug the transformer at the wall outlet° Take
off both drain hoses,.
Carefully remove the large holding clips at the
softener inlet and outlet (see Step 5b and 5c,
pages 10 and 11 ). Separate the softener from the
adaptors or bypass valve,.
Take off the salt tank and brinewe!l covers. Dis-

Looking at FIG. 30, lay a piece of 2 inch thick
board near the floor drain. Move the softener
close to the drain.. SLOWLY and CAREFULLY tip
it over until the rim rests on the wood block with
the inlet and outlet over the drain. DO NOT
ALLOW THE SOFTENER'S WEIGHT TO REST
UPON THE INLET AND OUTLET FITTINGS OR
THEY WILL BREAK_
8. Tip the bottom of the softener up a few inches and
hold until all water has drained,. Leave the softener
laying like this until you are ready to use it. Plug
the inlet and outlet with rags to keep dirt, bugs,
etc. out.
