BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE

Sometimes a hard crust or salt “bridge” forms in the brine

tank. This is usually caused by high humidity or the wrong

kind of salt. When this happens, an empty space forms

between the water and the salt. Then salt will not dissolve

in the water, the resin bed will not be recharged, and hard

water will result.

A bridge may be

straight down into

the salt. If a hard

object is felt, it is

most likely a salt

bridge. Carefully

push into the bridge

in several places to

break it. Do not try

to break the salt

bridge by pounding

Power supply unplugged, power cable

leads disconnected from electronic control

board, fuse blown, circuit breaker off.

Check for power loss due to any of these and correct. When power

is restored, set the time if the display shows “Current Time” screen

(See Page 8).

Bypass valve(s) in bypass position. Place bypass valve(s) in service position (See Page 3).

Valve drain hose plugged or restricted. Drain hose must not have kinks, sharp bends, or be raised too high.

ADDING SALT

If the conditioner/refiner uses all the salt before more is

added, hard water will result. Cabinet models have auto -

matic salt level sensing. On two-tank Model 600 Power,

lift the brine tank lid and check the salt level frequently.

Your Wi-Fi account can also be used to monitor salt. Be

sure that the brinewell cover is on when adding salt.

TWO-TANK MODEL 600 POWER: After adding and

leveling salt, always set the salt level number on the

electronic controller, as described on Page 7.

NOTE: In humid areas it is best to keep the salt level less

than half full and add salt more often.

shown on Page 7.

= Place only one bag of potassium chloride (KCl) into

your conditioner/refiner at a time.

SALT NOT RECOMMENDED: Rock salt high in impurities,

block, granulated, table, ice melting, or ice cream making

salts, etc., are not recommended.

Care is taken at the factory to keep your EcoWater Systems conditioner/refiner sanitary. However, during shipping,

storage, installing and operating, bacteria could get into the unit. For this reason, sanitizing is suggested* when installing:

1. Remove the brinewell cover and pour about 40 ml (2 to 3 tablespoons) of common household bleach into the

conditioner/refiner brinewell. Clorox and other brand names of bleach are readily available. Replace the brinewell cover.

2. Initiate a “Recharge now” (See Page 7). This recharge draws the bleach into and through the conditioner/refiner.
