1E. FILL THE STORAGE' TANK WITH SALT ,,
Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each and
every regeneration. The water for making brine is
metered into the salt storage tank by the softener.
However, you must keep the tank filled with salt.
Fill the tank with NUGGET or PELLET water softener
salt. DO NOT use rock salts, as they have dirt and
sediments that will stop the softener from working.
Before filling, be sure the brinewell cover is in place
on the top of the brinewell. Salt storage capacity is
shown on page 21.
NOTE:
In humid areas, it is best to fill the storage tank half-
full, and to refill itmore often° Salt bridging (see page
14) occurs more often when conditions are humid.
WATER SOFTENING SALT WITH IRON REMOV-
ING ADDITIVES -- Some salts have an additive to
help the softener handle iron in the water supply°
Although this additive may help to keep the softener
resin clean, it may also release corrosive fumes that
will weaken and shorten the life of some softener
parts_

_ODIUM INFORMATION; Water softeners using
sodium chloride for regeneration add sodium to the
water. Persons who are on sodium restricted diets
should consider the added sodium as part of their
overall sodium intake.
For example, if your water supply is 15 grains hard,
you would have to drink 3 quarts of softened water to
consume 335 milligrams of sodium. That is equiva-
lent to eating 2-1/2 slices of white bread.
Persons who are concerned about their drinking
water should consider a Sears Drinking Water
System that will remove or reduce in excess of 90%
of the sodium and other drinking water contaminants.
