SYSTEM DISINFECTION
Disinfection of Water Softeners
The materials of construction of the modern water softener will
not support bacterial growth, nor will these materials contami-
nate a water supply. During normal use, a softener may become
fouled with organic matter, or in some cases with bacteria from
the water supply. This may result in an off-taste or odor in the
water.
Some softeners may need to be disinfected after installation
and some softeners will require periodic disinfection during their
60002 Rev E normal life.
Depending upon the conditions of use, the style of softener, the

type of ion exchanger, and the disinfectant available, a choice
can be made among the following methods.

Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite


Application
These materials are satisfactory for use with polystyrene resins,
synthetic gel zeolite, greensand and bentonites.

5.25% Sodium Hypochlorite


These solutions are available under brand names of household
bleach. If stronger solutions are used, such as those sold for
commercial laundries, adjust the dosage accordingly.
1. Dosage
A. Polystyrene resin; 1.2 fluid ounce (35.5 ml) per cubic foot.
B. Non-resinous exchangers; 0.8 fluid ounce (23.7 ml) per

drain is cloudy again and/or contains media fines as well
as air. Allow water to flow at the drain until it appears clean

6. Continue to open the water supply valve until it is
completely open. Allow water to flow at the drain until all
media fines are washed out of the filter.
7. Manually index the filter to the In Service position, and again
open the downstream tap. Check to be sure that the water
flows clear. If necessary, allow water to flow until all media
fines are gone. If the tap is equipped with an aerator check

following procedures:
Typical Residential Application
To program, just set the time, set the hardness and it
automatically monitors system needs and regenerates
only when necessary. To set time of day press red time
set button and turn 24-hour gear until present time of
day is at “time of day.” Set program wheel by lifting the
“people” dial and rotating it so that the number of people
in the household is aligned with the household grains per
gallon water hardness. Release the dial and check for firm
engagement at setting. This method provides reserve
capacity based on 75 gallons per person.
Optional Programming Procedures
Calculate the gallon capacity of the system, subtract
the necessary reserve requirement and set the gallons
available at the small white dot on program wheel gear.
Note, drawing shows 850 gallon setting. The capacity
(gallons) arrow denotes remaining gallons exclusive of fixed
reserve.
