3B. KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN
COVERS
To keep your new Sears water softener looking nice,
apply a coat of paste wax and repeat once a year.
When dusty, wipe it With a damp cloth to keep it
sparkling
NOTE:
Never use cleaners having ammonia or abrasives.
They may scratch and dull the surface,
NOZZLE & VENTURI
A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG 13) is a must for
the softener to work right This small unit moves brine
from the salt storage tank to the resin tank during
regeneration. If it becomes plugged with sand, silt,
dirt, etc, the softener will not work and you will get
hard water.
To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the softener
top cover Be sure the softener is in service cycle (no
water pressure at nozzle and venturi), then turn off
the cap from the nozzle and venturi housing. DO
NOT LOSE THE LARGE O-RING SEAL Lift out the
screen support and screen, then the nozzle and
venturi. Wash and rinse the parts in warm water until
clean. If needed, use a small brush to remove iron or
dirt Also check and clean the gasket.
Carefully replace all parts in the correct order
Lubricate the o-ring seal with silicone grease or
Vaseline and place in position Install and tighten the
cap, BY HAND ONLY. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN
AND BREAK THE CAP OR HOUSING.

IRON FROM THE RESIN BED
Your water softener takes hardness minerals
(calcium and magnesium) out of the water. Also, it
can control some "clear water" iron .... see maximum
allowed in the specifications on page 21. 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 which makes the water cloudy
or rusty as it comes from the faucet (called red water
iron) To take red water iron out of water, or over the
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 clearwater iron, even though
less than the maximum allowed, regular resin bed
cleaning is needed. Sears has resin bed cleaner,
Stock No. 42-34426 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 instruc-
tions are on the resin bed cleaner bottle.
