Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each and eveu regeneration. The water for making brine is metered into the salt storage tank by the softener.
However, you must keep tile 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 18.

Sodium 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 equivalent to eating
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.

2A.FACE PLATE TIMER FEATURES
EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (re- charge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples
aye:
--You have used more water than usual (guests visiting) and you may run out of soft water before the next timer started regeneration.
--You did not refill the softener with salt before it was gone.
You can start a regeneration fight away, or you can set the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or other preset recharge time). Do the following.
PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical power comes on again, you have to reset the present time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless a change is desired.
Even if the timer is incorrect after a long power outage, the softener works as it should to keep you water soft. However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of clay until you reset the timer to the correct time of day.

2B. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION
When the softener is giving you soft water, it is called "Service". During service, hard water flows through the house main water pipe and into the softener.
Inside of the softener resin tank is a bed made up of thousands of tiny, plastic resin beads (FIG. 4). As hard water passes through the bed, each bead attracts and holds the hardness minerals. This is called
After a period of time, the resin beads become coated with hardness minerals and they have to be cleaned. This cleaning is called regeneration or recharge. Regeneration is started at 2:00 a.m. by the electronic timer (see page 13). It takes place in 5 stages or cycles. These are:

[] FILL: Salt, dissolved in water, is called brine. Brine is needed to clean the hardness minerals from the resin beads. To make the brine, water flows into the salt storage area during the fill stage as shown in FIG. 5. Fill cycle length depends on how much soft water making capacity you have used since the last regeneration. As you use more water, fill time increases so more brine is made. The greater amount of brine cleans more hardness minerals from the resin bed.

2B. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION
EZ]BRINING: During brining, the brine is moved from the salt storage area, into the resin tank. Inside the resin tank, brine cleans hardness minerals from the resin beads and they are discharged out the drain. How much brine is needed to clean the resin depends on:
--the amount of resin in the softener,
--how fast the brine goes through the bed.
WATER FLOW THROUGH THE
SOFTENER IN BACKWASH
The nozzle and venturi (FIG. 6) make suction to move brine from the salt tank into the resin tank.
They keep the brine flow down tO a veI3r slow rate tO
get the best resin cleaning with the least salt.
[] BRINE RINSE: After all of the brine is sucked OUt of the salt tank, the brine valve closes. Water keeps flowing through the resin tank the same way it did during brining except the brine flow has stopped. Hardness minerals and brine flush from the resin tank to the drain. Brining and brine rinse together vary in length of time they take, relative to the fill cycle length.

E_]FAST RINSE: Backwash is followed by a fast flow of water down through the resin tank. The fast flow packs the resin bed and gets it ready for return to service (FIG. 8).
After fast rinse, the softener returns tO service. Hard water goes into the resin tank where the resin bed again takes out the hardness minerals. Soft water goes to the house soft water pipes.

2B. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION
AUTOMATIC BYPASS
During the brining, brine rinse and backwash cycles of regeneration, hard water goes through the softener valve and to the house pipes. If a faucet is opened, hard water is there ff)r your needs.
However, you should not use HOT water, if possible, because the water heater will refill with hard water.
The softener regenerates from 2:00 AM to about 4:00 AM, (you can change this time.., see page 7). In most homes,
If you get up early in the morning and you can hear the softener regenerating, change the time setting. Set the recharge start time to ]2:00 AM or ] :00 AM (page 7). Then regeneration will start and end that much earlier and your water heater will not refill with hard water if a hot faucet is opened.
ELECTRONICS
Two m_dn parts of the softeneffs electronics are [] a WATER METER, and [] a COMPUTER.
[] WATER METER I The water meter is in the softener valve outlet. As water flows through the meter, it sends electric pulses to the computer. The computer changes the pulses to a measure in gallons of water.
[] COMPUTER I The computer is part of the timer circuit board. It is programmed to know the softeneffs capacity (how many grains of hardness minerals it will take out of the water before a regeneration is needed). When starting the softener, page 7, you set it for the groins per gallon (gpg) hardness of the water.
To find a regeneration pattern best for your needs, the computer uses: (]) water usage from the meter,
(2) hardness setting, (3) softener capacity, and (4) time since the last regeneration. The computer always adjusts this pattern to your water using habits. It works to provide you with soft water for the longest time, at the most efficient salt usage.
Softening capacity is used as hard water goes through the softener and hardness minerals are removed. When the computer determines that only enough capacity remains to provide soft water up to the next regeneration starting time (2:00 AM, or as otherwise se0, it will schedule a regeneration.

3A. SALT...REFILLING STORAGE TANK/BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE
WHEN TO REFILl, WITH SALT: Check the salt level a few weeks after you install the softener and every week after that. Refill when the storage tank is about 1/3 full. Never let the softener use all the salt before refilling. Without salt, you will soon have hard water.
IMPORTANT:
You will have a loss in softening capacity and
may get partly hard water if less than 10
inches of salt is in the storage tank.
PLEASE SEE PAGE 9 FOR SALT FILLING DIRECTIONS.
If the storage tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if you have a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but the bridge is under it. The following is the best way to check for a salt bridge.
Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of the tank. Hold a broom handle, or like tool, up to the softener as shown in FIG. 9. Make a pencil mark on the handle, 1." or 2" below the top height of the rim, as shown. Then, carefully push it straight down into the salt. If a hard object is felt before the pencil mark gets to the top of the tank, it's most likely a salt bridge. Carefully push into the bridge in a few places to break it. Do not try to break the salt bridge by pounding on the outside of the salt tank. You
may damage the tank.
If the wrong kind of salt was the cause of the bridge, take it OUt. Then fill the tank with nugget or pellet salt only.

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 AND VENTURI
A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. ] 0) 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.

IRON FROM THE RESIN BED
Your water softener takes hardness minerals (cal- cium and magnesium) out of the water. Also, it can control some "clear water" iron. See maximum
allowed in the specifications on page ] 8. With clear water iron, water from a faucet is clear when first put into a glass. After ] 5 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

To begin a regeneration, the electronic tiJner energizes the circuit to the valve motor. The valve motor rotates the rotor and disc and the valve cam until the position switch lever drops to open the motor circuit, when the valve reaches FILL position. As the rotor and disc rotates, the port ()pens for SOFT water fill through the venturi. Fill flow continues to the brine valve, and into the salt storage tank. Soft water is still available to the house lines.

5C. WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER VALVE
After fill, timer/switch action allows the motor to turn the rotor and disc into BRINING position. Water flow is directed to the nozzle. Suction, created by the nozzle and venturi, draws brine from the salt storage tank and injects it into the resin bed via the bottom
distributor. Flow continues out the top distributor and to the drain. Hard water is available at the valve outlet.
When the brine valve closes to end brine draw, water flow continues in the same directions to slowly RINSE brine from the resin bed and to the drain.

Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each and eveu regeneration. The water for making brine is metered into the salt storage tank by the softener.
However, you must keep tile 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.

Sodium 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 equivalent to eating
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.

EXTRA RECHARGE
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (re- charge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples
aye:
--You have used more water than usual (guests visiting) and you may run out of soft water before the next timer started regeneration.
--You did not refill the softener with salt before it was gone.
You can start a regeneration fight away, or you can set the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or other preset recharge time). Do the following.
PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical power comes on again, you have to reset the present time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless a change is desired.
Even if the timer is incorrect after a long power outage, the softener works as it should to keep you water soft. However, regenerations may occur at the wrong time of clay until you reset the timer to the correct time of day.

2B. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION
When the softener is giving you soft water, it is called "Service". During service, hard water flows through the house main water pipe and into the softener.
Inside of the softener resin tank is a bed made up of thousands of tiny, plastic resin beads (FIG. 4). As hard water passes through the bed, each bead attracts and holds the hardness minerals. This is called
After a period of time, the resin beads become coated with hardness minerals and they have to be cleaned. This cleaning is called regeneration or recharge. Regeneration is started at 2:00 a.m. by the electronic timer (see page 13). It takes place in 5 stages or cycles. These are:

[] FILL: Salt, dissolved in water, is called brine. Brine is needed to clean the hardness minerals from the resin beads. To make the brine, water flows into the salt storage area during the fill stage as shown in FIG. 5. Fill cycle length depends on how much soft water making capacity you have used since the last regeneration. As you use more water, fill time increases so more brine is made. The greater amount of brine cleans more hardness minerals from the resin bed.

2B. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION
EZ]BRINING: During brining, the brine is moved from the salt storage area, into the resin tank. Inside the resin tank, brine cleans hardness minerals from the resin beads and they are discharged out the drain. How much brine is needed to clean the resin depends on:
--the amount of resin in the softener,
--how fast the brine goes through the bed.
WATER FLOW THROUGH THE
SOFTENER IN BACKWASH
The nozzle and venturi (FIG. 6) make suction to move brine from the salt tank into the resin tank.
They keep the brine flow down tO a veI3r slow rate tO
get the best resin cleaning with the least salt.
[] BRINE RINSE: After all of the brine is sucked OUt of the salt tank, the brine valve closes. Water keeps flowing through the resin tank the same way it did during brining except the brine flow has stopped. Hardness minerals and brine flush from the resin tank to the drain. Brining and brine rinse together vary in length of time they take, relative to the fill cycle length.

2B. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION
AUTOMATIC BYPASS
During the brining, brine rinse and backwash cycles of regeneration, hard water goes through the softener valve and to the house pipes. If a faucet is opened, hard water is there ff)r your needs.
However, you should not use HOT water, if possible, because the water heater will refill with hard water.
The softener regenerates from 2:00 AM to about 4:00 AM, (you can change this time.., see page 7). In most homes,
If you get up early in the morning and you can hear the softener regenerating, change the time setting. Set the recharge start time to ]2:00 AM or ] :00 AM (page 7). Then regeneration will start and end that much earlier and your water heater will not refill with hard water if a hot faucet is opened.
ELECTRONICS
Two m_dn parts of the softeneffs electronics are [] a WATER METER, and [] a COMPUTER.
[] WATER METER I The water meter is in the softener valve outlet. As water flows through the meter, it sends electric pulses to the computer. The computer changes the pulses to a measure in gallons of water.
[] COMPUTER I The computer is part of the timer circuit board. It is programmed to know the softeneffs capacity (how many grains of hardness minerals it will take out of the water before a regeneration is needed). When starting the softener, page 7, you set it for the groins per gallon (gpg) hardness of the water.
To find a regeneration pattern best for your needs, the computer uses: (]) water usage from the meter,
(2) hardness setting, (3) softener capacity, and (4) time since the last regeneration. The computer always adjusts this pattern to your water using habits. It works to provide you with soft water for the longest time, at the most efficient salt usage.
Softening capacity is used as hard water goes through the softener and hardness minerals are removed. When the computer determines that only enough capacity remains to provide soft water up to the next regeneration starting time (2:00 AM, or as otherwise se0, it will schedule a regeneration.
_CtlARGE TONIG[IT displays until the regenera- tion begins. When the regeneration begins, TO- NIGHT goes off and I_CI_IARGE NOW flashes during the 2 hour regeneration.

CARE OF YOUR SOFTENER

3A. SALT...REFILLING STORAGE TANK/BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE
WHEN TO REFILl, WITH SALT: Check the salt level a few weeks after you install the softener and every week after that. Refill when the storage tank is about 1/3 full. Never let the softener use all the salt before refilling. Without salt, you will soon have hard water.
IMPORTANT:
You will have a loss in softening capacity and
may get partly hard water if less than 10
inches of salt is in the storage tank.
PLEASE SEE PAGE 9 FOR SALT FILLING DIRECTIONS.
If the storage tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if you have a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but the bridge is under it. The following is the best way to check for a salt bridge.
Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of the tank. Hold a broom handle, or like tool, up to the softener as shown in FIG. 9. Make a pencil mark on the handle, 1." or 2" below the top height of the rim, as shown. Then, carefully push it straight down into the salt. If a hard object is felt before the pencil mark gets to the top of the tank, it's most likely a salt bridge. Carefully push into the bridge in a few places to break it. Do not try to break the salt bridge by pounding on the outside of the salt tank. You
may damage the tank.
If the wrong kind of salt was the cause of the bridge, take it OUt. Then fill the tank with nugget or pellet salt only.

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 AND VENTURI
A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. ] 0) 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.

IRON FROM THE RESIN BED
Your water softener takes hardness minerals (cal- cium and magnesium) out of the water. Also, it can control some "clear water" iron. See maximum
allowed in the specifications on page ] 8. With clear water iron, water from a faucet is clear when first put into a glass. After ] 5 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 clear water iron, even though less than the maximum allowed, regular resin bed cleaning is needed. Sears has resin bed cleaner, Stock No.

To begin a regeneration, the electronic tiJner energizes the circuit to the valve motor. The valve motor rotates the rotor and disc and the valve cam until the position switch lever drops to open the motor circuit, when the valve reaches FILL position. As the rotor and disc rotates, the port ()pens for SOFT water fill through the venturi. Fill flow continues to the brine valve, and into the salt storage tank. Soft water is still available to the house lines.

5C. WATER FLOW THROUGH THE SOFTENER VALVE
After fill, timer/switch action allows the motor to turn the rotor and disc into BRINING position. Water flow is directed to the nozzle. Suction, created by the nozzle and venturi, draws brine from the salt storage tank and injects it into the resin bed via the bottom
distributor. Flow continues out the top distributor and to the drain. Hard water is available at the valve outlet.
When the brine valve closes to end brine draw, water flow continues in the same directions to slowly RINSE brine from the resin bed and to the drain.

Timer/switch action again allows the motor to turn the rotor & disc to place the valve in BACKWASH, stopping water flow to the nozzle. Water is routed down and out the bottom distributor, up through the bed, and out the top distributor to the drain. The fast flow (controlled by a flow plug in the drain fitting) flushes dirt, sediments, iron deposits, remaining brine and hardness to the drain.

During FAST RINSE, the rotor & disc is positioned so water flow enters the resin tank through the top distributor, and exits through the bottom distributor, to the drain.
