The water softening system works on 2/4volt60 Hz electrical power only. Be sure to use the
included external power supply.
External power supply must be plugged into an
indoor 120 volt, grounded outlet only.

iiiiiii_

Water softening systems using sodium chloride
(salt) for recharge add sodium to the water.
Persons on sodium restricted diets should
consider the added sodium as part of their
overall intake. Potassium chloride can be used
as an alternative to sodium chloride in your
softener.
Use only lead-free solder and flux for all sweatsolder connections, as required by state and
federal codes.

Use clean water softening salts only, at least
99.5% pure. NUGGET,PELLETor coarse SOLAR
salts are recommended. Do not use rock, block,
granulated or ice cream making salts. They
contain dirt and sediments, or mush and cake,
and will create maintenance problems.

Specifications

and Performance Claims.

This model is efficiency rated, The efficiency rating is valid only at the minimum stated salt dose, The softener has a demand
initiated regeneration
(D,I,R)feature that complies with specific performance
specifications intended to minimize the amount
of regenerant brine and water used in its operation.
The softener has a rated salt efficiency of not less than 4,000 grains of total hardness exchange per pound of salt (based on
sodium chloride), and shall not deliver more salt than its listed rating or be operated at a sustained maximum service flow
rate greater than its listed rating, This softener has been proven to deliver soft water for at least ten continuous minutes at
the rated service flow rate. The rated salt efficiency is measured by laboratory test described in NSF/ANSI Standard/44.
These
tests represent the maximum possible efficiency that the system can achieve, Operational efficiency is the actual efficiency
after the system has been installed, It is typically less than the efficiency, due to individual application factors including water
hardness, water usage, and other contaminants
that reduce the softener's capacity.

About the water softener system.
SERVICE
When the water softening system is providing
soft water, it is called "Service." During service,
hard water flows from the house main water pipe
into the water softening system. Inside the water
softening system resin tank is a bed made up of
thousands of tiny, plastic resin beads. As hard
water passes through the bed, each bead attracts
and holds the hard minerals. This is called ion-

After a period of time, the resin beads become
coated with hard minerals and they have to
be cleaned. This cleaning is called recharge.
Recharge is started at 2:00 AM (factory setting) by
the water softening system control, and consists
of five stages or cycles. These are FILL, BRINING,
BRINE RINSE, BACKWASH and FASTRINSE.

exchanging.
It is much like a magnet attracting
and holding metals. Water without hard minerals
(soft water) flows from the water softening system
and to the house pipes.

AUTOMATIC HARD WATER BYPASS DURING
RECHARGE
During recharge the water softener is
automatically put in bypass mode allowing hard
water to be available to the home. Once the
softener is recharged water is directed back
through the softener to be conditioned.

However, you should avoid using HOT water
because the water heater will fill with the hard
water.

FILL
Salt dissolved in water is called brine. Brine is
needed to clean the hard minerals from resin
beads. To make the brine, water flows into the salt
storage area during the fill stage.

During backwash, water travels up through
the resin tank at a fast flow rate, flushing
accumulated iron, dirt and sediments
from the resin bed and to the drain.

BRINING

FAST RINSE

During brining, brine travels from the salt storage
area into the resin tank. Brine is the cleaning agent
needed to remove hard minerals from the resin
beads. The hard minerals and brine are discharged
to the drain.

Backwash is followed by a fast flow of water down
through the resin tank. The fast flow flushes brine
from the bottom of the tank,
and packs the resin bed.

The nozzle and venturi create a suction to move
the brine, maintaining a very slow rate to get the
best resin cleaning with the least salt.
BRINE RINSE
After a pre-measured amount of brine is used,
the brine valve closes. Water continues to flow in
the same path as during brining, except for the
discontinued brine flow. Hard minerals and brine
flush from the resin tank to the drain.

BACKWASH

After fast rinse, the water softening system returns
to soft water service.

You have used more water than usual (house
guests, extra washing, etc.) and you may run
out of soft water before the next recharge.
The system ran out of salt.
Use one of the following features to start a

recharge, touch the same button once more.
RECHARGE NOW
Press and hold the RECHARGE button until
RECHARGE NOW starts to flash in the control
display area. The water softening system begins
an immediate
recharge and, when over in about
two hours, you will have a new supply of soft
water. Once started, you cannot cancel this
recharge.

MEMORY

If electrical power to the water softening system is
interrupted, the control display is blank, and the blue
indicator light is off, but the control keeps correct
time for 24 hours. When power is restored, you have
to reset the present time only if the display and blue
indicator light are flashing. All other settings are
maintained and never require resetting unless a
change is desired.

FEATURE/SERVICE: AUTOMATIC
ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSIS
The control computer has a self-diagnostic
function for the electrical system (except input
power and water meter). The computer monitors
the electronic components and circuits for correct
operation. If a malfunction occurs, an error code
appears in the control display.

If the time is flashing after a long power outage,
the water softening system continues to work as
it should to provide you with soft water. However,
recharge may occur at the wrong time of day until
you reset the control to the correct time
of day.

About the water softener system.
WATER CONDITION INFORMATION
IRON
Iron in water can cause stains on clothing and
plumbing fixtures. It can negatively affect the
taste of food,drinking water, and other beverages.
Iron in water is measured in parts per million
(ppm). The total* ppm of iron, and type or types*,
is determined by chemical analysis. Four different
types of iron in water are:

Colloidal and inorganically bound iron is of ferric
or ferrous form that will not filter or exchange
out of water. This water softener will not remove
colloidal iron. In some instances, treatment
may improve colloidal iron water. Colloidal iron
water usually has a yellow appearance when
drawn. After standing for several hours, the color
persists and the iron does not settle, but remains
suspended in the water.

Ferrous (clear water)iron
Ferric (red water)iron
Bacterial and organically bound iron
Colloidal and inorganically bound iron (ferrous
or ferric)

SEDIMENT
Sediment is fine, foreign material particles
suspended in water. This water softener will not
remove sediment. This material is most often clay
or silt. Extreme amounts of sediment may give
the water a cloudy appearance. A sediment filter
installed upstream of the water softener normally
corrects this situation.

Ferrous (clear water)iron is soluble and dissolves
in water. This water softener will reduce
moderate amounts of this type of iron (see
specifications).**Ferrous (clear water)iron is
usually detected by taking a sample of water in
a clear bottle or glass. Immediately after taking,
the sample is clear. As the water sample stands,
it gradually clouds and turns slightly yellow or
brown as air oxidizes the iron. This usually occurs
in 15 to 30 minutes.
When using the softener to reduce Ferrous (clear
water) iron, add 5 grains to the hardness setting
fore very 1 ppm of Ferrous (clear water)iron. See
"Set Water Hardness Number" section.
Ferric (red water), and bacterial and organically
bound irons are insoluble. This water softener
will not remove ferric or bacterial iron. This iron
is visible immediately when drawn from a faucet
because it has oxidized before reaching the
home. It appears as small cloudy yellow, orange,
or reddish suspended particles. After the water
stands for a period of time,the particles settle to
the bottom of the container. Generally these irons
are removed from water by filtration. Chlorination
is also recommended for bacterial iron.

* Water may contain one or more of the four
types of iron and any combination of these. Total
iron is the sum of the contents.
** Capacity to reduce clear water iron is
substantiated by WOA test data.
CHLORINE
Softener resins may degrade in the presence
of chlorine above 2 ppm. If you have chlorine
in excess of this amount, you may experience
reduced life of the resin. In these conditions, you
may wish to consider purchasing a GE point-ofentry household filtration system with a chlorine
reducing filter.

Before you start.
BEFORE

YOU START

The water softener requires a minimum water flow of 3 gallons per minute at the inlet. Maximum
allowable inlet water pressure is 125 psi. If daytime pressure is over 80 psi, nighttime
pressure may
exceed the maximum.
Use a pressure reducing valve if necessary (Adding o pressure reducing valve
may reduce the flow). If your home is equipped with a back flow preventer, on expansion tank must
be installed in accordance
with local codes and lows.

The water softener uses o direct plug-in external power supply (included). Be sure to use the included
power supply and plug it into o nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that is in o dry location only,
grounded and properly protected by an over current device such as o circuit breaker or fuse.
Do not use this system to treat water that is microbiologicully unsafe or of unknown quality without
adequate disinfection upstream or downstream of the system.

LOCATION REQUIREMENTS
Consider all of the following when selecting an
installation location for the water softener.

Avoid installing in direct sunlight. Excessive sun
heat may cause distortion or other damage to
non-metallic
parts.

Do not locate the water softener where freezing
temperatures occur. Do not attempt to treat
water over 120°F. Freezing temperatures or
hot water damage voids the warranty.
To condition all water in the home, install
the water softener close to the water supply
inlet, and upstream of all other plumbing
connections, except outside water pipes.
Outside faucets should remain on hard water to
avoid wasting conditioned water and salt.
A nearby drain is needed to carry away
regeneration discharge (drain) water. Use a
floor drain,laundry tub, sump, standpipe, or
other options(check your local codes). See
"Air Gap Requirements" and "Valve Drain
Requirements"sections.
The water softener uses a direct plug-in
external power supply (included). Be sure to
use the included power supply and plug it into
a nominal 120V, 60 cycle household outlet that
is in a dry location only, grounded and properly
protected by an over current device such as a
circuit breaker or fuse.
Always install the water softener between
the water inlet and water heater. Any other
installed water conditioning equipment should
be installed between the water inlet and water
softener (See Figure below).

with national, state and local plumbing codes.
In the state of Massachusetts: The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts plumbing code 2¢8-CMR shall be
adhered to. A licensed plumber shall be used for
this installation.

AIR GAP REQUIREMENTS
A drain is needed for regeneration water (See
Figure 1). A floor drain, close to the water
softener, is preferred. A laundry tub, standpipe,
etc. are other drain options. Secure valve drain
hose in place. Leave an air gap of 1-1/2" between
the end of the hose and the drain. This gap is
needed to prevent back flow of sewer water into
the water softener. Do not put the end of the
drain hose into the drain.

VALVE DRAIN REQUIREMENTS
Using the flexible drain hose (included) see Figure
2, measure and cut to the length needed. Flexible
drain hose is not allowed in all localities (check
your plumbing codes). )f local codes do not allow
use of a flexible drain hose, a rigid valve drain run
must be used. Purchase a compression fitting (1//4
NPTx 1/2 in. minimum tube) and 1/2" tubing from
your local hardware store. Plumb a rigid drain as
needed (See Figure 3).
NOTE:Avoid drain hose runs longer than 30 feet.
Avoid elevating the hose more than 8 feet above
the floor. Make the valve drain line as short and

the floor. Make the valve drain line as short and
direct as possible.

2. Place the bypass valve (single or 3 valve)into
the'bypass" position. SeeFigures on Page Z0.
3. Slowly open the main water supply valve. Run
water until there is a steady flow from the
opened faucets, with no air bubbles.
/4.Place bypass valve(s)in "service" or soft water
position as follows:
• Single bypass valve (Figure/4): Slowly move
the valve stem toward "service," pausing
several times to allow the water softener to
fill with water.

IMPORTANT: If codes require a rigid drain line
see"Valve Drain requirements" section.
2. Route the drain hose or copper tubing to the
floor drain or other suitable drain point. Secure
drain hose. This will prevent "whipping" during
regenerations. See "Air Gap Requirements"
section (Figure 1).
3. Cut and secure the hose.

• 3 valve bypass (Figure 5): Fully close the
bypass valve and open the outlet valve.
Slowly open the inlet valve, pausing several
times to allow the water softener to fill with
water.

NOTE: The softener will not work if the water
cannot exit the drain hose during recharge.

5. After about three minutes, open a hot water
faucet until there is a steady flow and there are
no air bubbles, then close this faucet.
6. Close all cold water faucets and check for leaks
at the plumbing connections that you made.
7. Check for leaks around clips at softener's
inlet and outlet. If a leak occurs at a clip,
depressurize the plumbing (turn off the water
supply and open faucets) before removing clip.
When removing clips at the softener's inlet
or outlet, push the single bypass valve body
toward the softener (See Figure 1/4). Improper
removal may damage clips. Do not reinstall
damaged clips.

INSTALL SALT STORAGE TANK OVERFLOW
HOSE
1. Measure, cut to needed length and connect the
3/8"drain line (provided) to the salt storage tank
overflow elbow and secure in place with a hose
clamp.
2. Route the hose to the floor drain, or other
suitable drain point no higher than the drain
fitting on the salt storage tank (This is a gravity
drain). If the tank overfills with water, the
excess water flows to the drain point. Cut the
drain line to the desired length and route it
neatly out of the way.
IMPORTANT:For proper operation of the water
softener, do not connect the water softener valve
drain tubing to the salt storage tank overflow hose.

1. Using a container, add about three gallons of
clean water into the salt storage tank.
2. Add salt to the storage tank. Use nugget,
pellet or coarse solar salts with less than 1%
impurities.

3. Start a recharge (regeneration). See"Start a
Recharge'on Page 13.
4. After the recharge has completed, fully open a
cold water faucet, downstream from the softener,
and allow 50 gallons of water to pass through
the system. This should take at least 20 minutes.

PLUG IN THE WATER SOFTENER
1. Plug the water softener into an electrical outlet
that is not controlled by a switch.
2. Replace the top cover.
3. Replace the salt hole cover.
NOTE: The water heater is filled with hard
water and,as hot water is used, it will refill
with conditioned water. In a few days, the hot
water will be fully conditioned. To have fully
conditioned hot water immediately, wait until
the initial recharge is over. Then, drain the water
heater(following instructions for water heater) until
water runs cold.

WARNING!

ADJUSTING YOUR WATER HARDNESS
The blend adjusting knob (Figure 16) gives the
ability to finely adjust hardness of the treated water
leaving the water softener. If slightly harder water
is desired than is normally delivered by the water
softener, the blend adjusting knob can divert a small
stream of hard water and blend it with the soft water
entering the home. The amount of water diverted is
controlled by turning a blend adjusting knob on the
end cap of the valve stem.
NOTE:To get full performance from your water
softener leave blending valve in the factory closed
position.
To make adjustments to water hardness:
1. Hold bypass handle to keep the valve stem
from rotating (see figure 16). Loosen hex nut on
blend adjustment knob by turning the hex nut
counterclockwise.

Care and cleaning.
CHECKING THE SALT STORAGE LEVEL end
REFILL
Brine (salt dissolved in water)is needed for each
and every recharge. The water for making brine
is metered into the gait storage area by the water
softening system valve and control. However, you
must keep the tank supplied with salt.
ADDING SALT
Lift the salt hole cover and check the salt storage
level frequently. If the water softener uses all
the salt before you refill it, you will experience
hard water. Until you have established a refilling
routine, check the salt every two or three weeks.
Always add if less than 1/4 full. Be sure the
brinewell cover is on.
NOTE: if using potassium chloride (KCI),do not fill
above level 4 on the brinewell decal.
NOTE: In humid areas, it is best to keep the salt
storage level lower, and to refill more often to
avoid salt "bridging".
Recommended Salt: Nugget, pellet or coarse
solar salts with less than 1% impurities.
Salt Not Recommended: Rock salt, high in
impurities, block, grandulated table, ice melting,
ice cream making salts, etc.

CLEANING IRON OUT OF THE WATER
SOFTENI NG SYSTEM
Your water softening system takes hardness
minerals (calcium and magnesium) out of
the water. Also, it can control some (see the
Specification Guidelines section) "clear water" iron.
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 softening system will not remove
any iron that 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.
If your water supply has clear water iron, periodic
resin bed cleaning is needed. GE recommends
using Super Iron Out _' brand resin bed cleaner
to thoroughly clean your resin bed if your iron
content is high. Clean the bed at least every six
months, or more often if iron appears in the soft
water between cleanings.
IMPORTANT:It is important to mix the resin bed
cleaner with water (following the manufacturer's
instructions), pour it into the brinewell (see Figure
9) and recharge the softener immediately. Do not
pour the resin bed cleaner
in with the salt, as it will not be as effective in
cleaning the resin, and can cause damage to
the softener if it is left in the brine tank for an
extended period due to the corrosive gases
that are formed.

Routine Maintenance.
CLEANING THE NOZZLE AND VENTURI ASSEMBLY
A clean nozzle and venturi is needed for the water
softening system to work properly. This small
unit makes the suction to move brine from the salt
storage area to the resin tank during recharge. If
it becomes plugged with sand, dirt, etc., the water
softening system wilt not work and you will get hard
water.
To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the water
softening system top cover. Be sure the water
softening system is in service cycle (no water
pressure at nozzle and venturi). Then, while holding
the nozzle and venturi housing with one hand,
remove the cap. 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.
NOTE:Some models have a small flow plug located
in the nozzle and venturi, and/or a small cone
shaped screen in the housing. Be sure to check and
clean these parts, if your model is so equipped.
Carefully replace all parts in the correct order. Lightly
lubricate the o-ring seal with clean silicone grease
or petroleum jelly and place in position. Install and
tighten the cap, by hand only. Do not overtighten
the cap.

BREAKINGA SALT BRIDGE
Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in
the salt storage area. It is usually caused by high
humidity or the wrong kind of salt. When the salt
bridges, an empty space forms between the water
and salt. Then salt will not dissolve in the water to
make brine.

Push tool into salt
bridge to break

If the brine 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. Take a broom handle or like tool, and carefully
push it down into the salt, working it up and down.
If the tool strikes a hard object (besure it's not the
bottom or sides of the tank), it's most likely a salt
bridge. Carefully break the bridge with the tool. Do
not pound on the walls of the tank. To help dissolve
the salt bridge pour one gallon of warm water (not
hot) into the tank.
If the wrong kind of salt made the bridge, take it out.
Then fill the tank with nugget or pellet salt only. In
humid areas, it is best to fill with less salt, more often
to prevent a salt bridge from forming.

Troubleshooting Tips
Save time and money! Review the chart on this page first and you may not
need to call for service.

NO SOFT WATER - Most Common

Problems:

Check the following before calling for service:
• Not enough salt-should
be at least 1/3 full.
• Bypass valve in "Bypass" position-handle
should be in the "OUT" (service) position.
• Hardness setting too low. Check hardness setting and adjust. Verify hardness of supply waterfrom local water company, water test or call the GE Answer Center (800-952-5039 in US).
• Salt Bridge-salt solidifies above water level so that brine water is not in contact with salt. See
the Breaking a Salt Bridge section.

Possible Cause

What to do

Foucet or fixture where somple wos
token not plumbed to soft woter.
NOTE: Be sure sample is from a faucet
that does not mix soft and hard water.

• To conserve salt, the installer may have isolated
some fixtures (outside faucets, toilets, etc.) from
soft water. From the outlet of the water soften-

For example, a single lever kitchen
faucet, if the cold side is plumbed to
hard water.

ing system, trace the water flow path, in house
plumbing. If soft water is not directed to a faucet
or fixture where wanted, consult a plumber.
• Check for a salt bridge or, if the tank is empty, refill
with recommended salt. Press (for 3 secondsl
the RECHARGEbutton to start an immediate
recharge and restore soft water supply.
• Check for a loss of electrical power to the water
softening system, due to any of these conditions
and correct as needed. With the power supply
restored, observe the faceplate time display and
read Programming the Control section. NOTE:
the electrical outlet for the softener should be live
so it cannot be accidentally switched off.
• Be sure the bypass valve stem is positioned properly, with the handle in the OUT position.
• Turn blending valve clockwise to closed position.
• Any restriction in the drain hose may prevent
proper operation of the nozzle and venturi and
reduce or prevent brine draw during recharge..
• Refer to Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi Assembly
instructions. With water pressure to the water
softening system off, take the nozzle assembly
apart. Inspect, clean and replace as needed.
Any foreign particle(s), scratches, nicks, etc. in the
passages con prevent operation. Be sure holes in
the gasket are centred over holes in the housing.

Before you call for service.
Possible Cause

What to do

• Water hardness can change over time, especially
in well water. To check, hove the water tested
by o water analysis laboratory or call your local
water deportment. Adjust the Hardness number
setting as needed.

Absence of hardness minerals

• This is normal. Hardness in water gives it the
abrasive feel you may hove been accustomed to.
The slippery feel is the clean feel of soft water.
• See the Adjusting your Water Hardness section.

Water softening system is a
"demand" unit

• Does not use much salt to regenerate - very
el_cient.

Possible salt bridge

• See the Breaking a Salt Bridge section.

Possible plugged nozzle and venturi

• See the Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi Assembly
section.

Acidic water in copper plumbing

• Hove the water tested at once.

Meter turbine stuck

• See the Manually Initiated Electronics Diagnostics
section for troubleshooting procedures.
• Call for service.

Sensor wire not plugged into the
control

• See the Manually Initiated Electronics Diagnostics
section for troubleshooting procedures.
• Coil for service

No power to unit

• Check the circuit breaker or fuses.

Mechanical defect

• Coil for service.

Combination of soft water and too
much detergent

• This is called etching and is permanent. To
prevent this from happening, use less detergent
if you hove soft water. Wash glassware in the
shortest cycle that will get them cleon..

Before you call for service.
Possible Cause

What to do

Valve drain hose pinched, plugged,
elevated too high or otherwise
restricted

• A restriction in this drain hose may prevent proper
operation of the nozzle and ventufi and reduce or
prevent brine draw during recharge.

Nozzle and venturi dirty, incorrectly
assembled or damaged.

• Refer to Cleaning the Nozzle and Venturi Assembly
instructions. With water pressure to the water
softening system off, take the nozzle assembly
aport. Inspect, cleon and replace as needed.
Any foreign particle(s), scratches, nicks, etc. in the
passages con prevent operation. Be sure holes in
the gasket ore centred over holes in the housing

Unit not sanitized

• Complete Sonitizotion Procedures.
• At completion of recharge cycle (approx. 2 hours),
run water from faucets to purge the salty water.

Lowwaterpressure

Check pressure:
• Drain height 8' or less, pressure should be minimum 20 psi.
• Drain height above 8', pressure should be minimum 50 psi.

iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

Restricted drain hose

• Cleon and reconnect hose.
• Check for kinks in drain line

Unit was idle for a period of time

• Complete the Sanitization Procedures.

Cracked distributor

• Check softener "IN & OUT" plumbing is correct.
• Coil for service.

Running water from the unit into a
drain during recharge

• This is normal.

Air in system after installation

• Will go away after it runs for o while.

Control needs to be programmed {a
power outage may have occurred)

• Seethe Programming the Control section.

Low salt level, less than 15 days

• Fill with salt.
• Reset salt level.

softening system enters the fill cycle of recharge.
Remove the brinewell cover and, using a flashlight,
observe fill water entering the brine tank. If water
does not enter the tank, look for an obstructed nozzle,
venturi, fill flow plug or brine tubing. See Care and
Cleaning of the Water Softener System section.

plugged top distributor, backwash flow plug or drain
hose.
4. Press the RECHARGEbutton to move the water
softening system into fast rinse. Again look for a fast
drain flow. Allow the water softening system to rinse
for a few minutes to flush out any brine that may
remain in the resin tank from the brining cycle test.

2. After observing fill, press the RECHARGEbutton to
move the water softening system into brining. A
slow flow of water to the drain will begin. Verify brine
draw from the brine tank by shining a flashlight into
the brinewell and observing a noticeable drop in the
liquid level over an extended period of time (is to 20
minutes).

5. To return the water softening system to service, press
the RECHARGEbutton.

NOTE: Be sure a salt bridge is not preventing water from
contacting salt. See Care and cleaning of the water
softening system section.
If the water softening system does not draw brine, check:
, nozzle and/or venturi dirty or defective.
, defective nozzle and venturi seal.
, nozzle and venturi not seated properly
on gasket.
, other inner valve defect (rotor seal, rotor and disc,
wave washer, etc.).
, restricted drain (check drain fitting and hose).

Sobre el sistema de descalcificaci6n

de aqua.

SERVICIO
Cuando el sistema descalcificador de agua esta
proporcionando agua descalcificada, a esto se le
llama "Servicio".Durante el servicio, el agua dura
fluye des@ la tuberia de agua principal de la
casa hacia el sistema de descalcificaci6n de agua.
En el interior del tanque de resina del sistema de
descalcificaci6n de agua hay una pelicula o capa
compuesta de miles de resinas plasticas ctiminutas.
Cuando el agua dura pasa a trav6s de la capa, cada
resina diminuta atrapa los minerales duros.A esto se
le llama intercambio de iones.Escomo un iman que
atrae y atrapa metales. Luego, el agua sin minerales
duros (agua descalcificada o agua blanda) fluye
hacia la casa des@ el sistema de descalcificaci6n.

Despu@sde un periodo de tiempo, la capa de
resina se obstruye o se satura con los minerales
duros y debe limpiarse. Esta limpieza se denomina
recarga. La recarga comienza alas 2:00 AM (ajustado
en fabrica) por el control del sistema
de descalcificaci6n de agua, y consiste en cinco
etapas o ciclos. Estas son FILL(llenadol, BRINING
(proceso de salado), BRINE RINSE (enjuague salado),
BACKWASH (lavado regresivo) y FAST RINSE (lavado
r4pido).

DEL AGUA

Sin embargo,
se debe evitar el uso de agua

Durante la recarga, el suavizante de agua se
coloca autom6ticamente en el modo de tubo de
desviaci6n, permitiendo que el agua dura est@
disponible en el hogar. Una vez que el suavizante
es recargado, el agua es dirigida nuevamente a
LLENADO
La sal disuelta en agua es Ilamada salmuera. La
salmuera es necesaria para limpiar los minerales
duros de las diminutas particulas de resina. Para
formar la salmuera, el agua fluye hacia el interior
del tanque de sal durante el periodo de Ilenado.

ENJUAGUE DE SALMUERA
Despu@sde que se use una cantidad de salmuera
medida con anterioridad, la v61vulade salmuera
se cierra. El agua contin0a fluyendo en la misma
trayectoria que durante el proceso de salado,
excepto por elflujo de salmuera discontinuado.
Los minerales duros y la salmuera fluyen
del tanque de resina hacia el desag0e.

SALADO
Durante el proceso de salado, la salmuera se
desplaza del area del tanque de almacenamiento
de la sal hacia el tanque de la resina. La salmuera
es el agente de limpieza necesario para remover los
minerales duros de la capa de resina. Los minerales
duros y la salmuera son descargados hacia el
desag0e.

LAVADO REGRESIVO
Durante el lavado regresivo, el agua viaja hacia
arriba a trav@sdel tanque de resina a un flujo de
ritmo r6pido, purgando el hierro acumulado, la
suciedad, y los sedimentos desde la capa de
resina hacia el desag0e.

La boquilla y elVenturi crean una succi6n para
mover la salmuera, manteniendo un ritmo muy
bajo para obtener la resina de limpieza con la menor
cantidad de sal.

ENJUAGUE R/_PIDO
El lavado regresivo es seguido por un flujo de agua
r6pido hacia abajo a trav@sdel tanque de resina. El
flujo r6pido purga la salmuera del fondo del tanque, y
rellena el tanque de resina.
A continuaci6n del enjuague r6pido, el sistema de
descalcificaci6n de agua regresa al servicio de agua
descalcificada.

cloraci6n con el hierro con bacterias.

AGUA

El hierro asociado en forma coloide o inorgcinico
es de forma f6rrica o ferrosa que no se filtrard ni
intercambiarci fuera del agua. Este suavizante de
agua no eliminard el hierro coloidal. En algunas
instancias, el tratamiento puede mejorar el agua
con hierro coloidal. Normalmente, el agua con
hierro coloidal cuenta con un aspecto amarillento
al ser extrddo. Luego de asentarse durante varias
horas, el color persiste y el hierro no se asienta,
sino que permanece suspendido en el agua.

HIERRO
El hierro del agua puede causar manchas en la
ropa y accesorios de plomerfa. Puede alterar de
forma negativa el sabor de la comida, el agua
potable y otras bebidas. El hierro del agua es
medido en partes par mill6n (ppm). El ppm de
hierro total*, y el tipo o tipos* es determinado a
trav6s de analisis qufmicos. Los cuatro tipos de
hierro diferentes en el agua son:

Colloidal and inorganically bound iron is of ferric
or ferrous form that will not filter or exchange
out of water. This water softener will not remove
colloidal iron. In some instances, treatment
may improve colloidal iron water. Colloidal iron
water usually has a yellow appearance when
drown. After standing for several hours, the color
persists and the iron does not settle,but remains
suspended in the water.

1Hierro ferroso (agua potable)
1Hierro f@rico (agua roja)
1Hierro asociado par bacterias y organismos
1Hierro asociado en forma coloide e inorg6nica
(ferroso o f@rico)
El hierro ferroso (agua potable) es soluble y
se disuelve en agua. Este suavizante de agua
reducir6 cantidades moderadas de este tipo de
hierro (lea las especificaciones). **El hierro ferroso
(agua potable) normalmente se detecta tomando
un ejemplo del agua en una botella o vaso limpios.
Inmediatamente luego de tomarlos, el ejemplo
es clara. A medida que el ejemplo de agua se
asienta, gradualmente se enturbia y se vuelve
levemente amarillo o marr6n a medida que el aire
oxida el hierro. Este normalmente ocurre entre los
15 y 30 minutos.

SEDIMENTO
El sedimento son partfculas de material fino y
extrar_o suspendidas en el agua. Este suavizante
de agua no eliminard el sedimento. Con gran
frecuencia este material es arcilla o cieno. Las
cantidades extremas de sedimento pueden dar al
agua un aspecto turbio. Un filtro de sedimentos
instalado arriba del suavizante de agua
normalmente corrige esta situaci6n.
* El agua puede contener uno o mcis de los cuatro
tipos de hierro y cualquier combinaci6n de estos.
El hierro total es la suma de los contenidos.

AI usar el suavizante para reducir el hierro
ferroso (agua potable), agregue 5 granos a
la configuraci6n dura par cada 1 ppm de
hierro ferroso (agua potable). Lea la secci6n
"Configuraci6n del N0mero de Agua Dura).

** La capacidad de reducir el hierro del agua
potable es corroborada por datos evaluados de
Wq)A.

Los hierros f@ricos (agua roja), y asociados con
bacterias y organismos son insolubles. Este
suavizante de agua no eliminar6 el hierro f@rico
ni las bacterias. Este hierro es visible de forma
inmediata al salir par un grifo, ya que se oxid6
antes de Ilegar al hogar. Aparece en forma de
pequer_as partfculas turbias suspendidas de color
amarillo, anaranjado o rojizo. Una vez que el agua
se asent6 par un perfodo de tiempo, las partfculas
quedan en el fondo del envase. Generalmente,
estos hierros son eliminados del agua a trav6s del
proceso de filtraci6n. Tambi6n se recomienda la

AJUSTE DE LA DUREZA DEL AGUA
La perilla de ajuste de mezcla (Figura 16)le da la posibilidad
de ajustar finamente la dureza del agua tratada, dejando
el suavizante de agua. Si se desea un agua un poco m6s
dura que aquella normalmente provista par el suavizante
de agua, la perilla de ajuste de mezcla puede desviar un
peque_o flujo de agua dura y mezclar @stacon el agua
suave que entra al hogan La cantidad de agua desviada es
controlada girando una perilla de ajuste de mezcla en la
tapa de la ca_a de la v61vula.

Hanija de Empuje
Hacia Uno

NOTA:Para obtener el rendimiento completo del suavizante
de agua, deje la v61vula de mezcla en la posici6n cerrada
configurada de f6brica.
Pare hacer ajustes sobre la dureza del ague:
1. Sostenga la manija de desviaci6n para evitar que la
ca_a de la v61vula rote (lea la figura 16). Afloje la tuerca
hexagonal en la perilla de ajuste de mezcla girando la
tuerca hexagonal en contra de las agujas del reloj.
2. PARA INCREMENTARLA DUREZA: Con la desviad6n
en la posici6n del servicio (lea la figura 16), sostenga
la manija para evitar que la ca_a de la valvula
rote, y gire la perilla de ajuste de mezcla en contra
de las agujas del reloj hasta 2 vueltas desde la
posici6n cerrada. Se recomienda hacer ajustes pot
incrementos de un cuarto durante varias semanas,
hasta que se Iogre el nivel de dureza deseado. NOTA:
Una vez que se realiza un ajuste sobre la perilla de
la v61vula de mezcla, es posible que Ileve varios dias
observar el cambio en la dureza del agua en los
grifos o las flores del hogar. Esta demora se debe a
las grandes cantidades de agua ya acondidonada
en las tuberias y el calentador de agua, que se debe
cambiar antes de que se observe una modificaci6n
en la dureza. Solicite que se evalOe el agua para
determinar su nivel de dureza.

CONTROL DEL NIVEL DE ALMACENAMIENTO
DE SAL y RECARGA
La salmuera (sal disuelta en agua) es necesaria
en cada recarga. El agua para hacer salmuera
es medida en el 6rea de almacenamiento de sal
por la v61vula del sistema suavizante de agua y
el control. Sin embargo, se deber4 mantener el
tanque suministrado con sal.
AGREGADODE SAL
Levante la tapa del agujero de sal y controle
el nivel de almacenamiento de sal de forma
frecuente. Si el suavizante de agua usa toda la
sal antes de recargar la misma, obtendra agua
dura. Hasta que haya establecido una rutina de
recarga, controle la sal cada dos o tres semanas.
Siempre agregue sal cuando la cantidad sea
inferior a ¼. Aseg0rese de que la tapa del pozo de
salmuera est@colocada.
NOTA: Si usar6 cloruro de potasio (KCI),no supere
el nivel 4 de la etiqueta del pozo de salmuera.
NOTA: En 6reas h0medas, es mejor mantener
el nivel de almacenamiento de sal bajo, y hacer
recargas m6s frecuentes para evitar "puentes" de
sal.
Sel Recomendede: Pepitas, bolitas o sal solar
gruesa con menos del 1% de impurezas.
Sal No Recomendede: Sal en roca, alta en
impurezas, en bloque, granulada de mesa,
derretida en hielo, para hacer helado, etc.

_]I_PRECAUCION:
Sal pare suavizante de ague con
aditivos pare eliminar hierro:

LIHPIEZA DEL HIERRO DEL SISTEMA
SUAVIZANTE DE AGUA
Su sistema suavizante de agua elimina los
minerales duros (calcio y magnesio) del agua.
Adem6s, puede controlar parte (lea la secci6n
de Pautas de Especificaci6n) del hierro del "agua
potable". Con el hierro del agua potable, el agua
de un grifo es potable cuando se coloca por
primera vez en un vaso. Luego de entre 15 y 30
minutos, el agua comienza a enturbiarse o tomar
un color 6xido. Un sistema suavizante de agua
no eliminard ning0n hierro que enturbie el agua
o la oxide al salir del grifo (llamado hierro de
agua roja), para quitar el hierro del agua roja del
agua, o el maximo de hierro del agua potable, es
necesario un filtro de hierro u otro equipamiento.
Si el suministro de agua posee hierro en el agua
potable, es necesaria una limpieza peri6dica
del fondo de resina. GE recomienda el uso de la
marca de limpiador de fondo de resina Super Iron
Out@ para limpiar completamente el fondo de
resina si el contenido de hierro es alto. Limpie el
fondo por Io menos cada seis meses, o con mayor
frecuencia si el hierro aparece en el agua suave
entre las limpiezas.
IMPORTANTE: Es importante mezclar el limpiador
del fondo de resina con agua (siguiendo las
instrucciones del fabricante), verter la misma en
el pozo de selmuere (yea la Figura 9) y recargar
el suavizante de forma inmediata. No vierta el
limpiador del fondo de resina con la sal, ya que
no sere tan efectivo en la limpieza de la resina, y
podra ocasionar dar_os al suavizante si se deja en
el tanque de salmuera por un perfodo extendido
debido a los gases corrosivos que se forman.

Algunas sales cuentan con un aditivo pare
ayudar al sistema suavizante de ague a
eliminar el hierro del suministro de ague.
Aunque este aditivo puede ayudar a mantener
limpia la resina del sistema suavizante de
ague, tambi_n puede liberar gases corrosivos
que debilitan y acortan la vide 5til de algunas
partes del sistema suavizante de ague.

ROTURA DE UN PUENTE DE SAL
A veces se forma una costra dura o un puente de sal en el
6rea de almacenamiento de sal. Normalmente es causada
por el alto nivel de humedad o un tipo de sal inadecuado.
Cuando se forman puentes de sal, se genera un espacio
vado entre el agua y la sal. Luego la sal no se disuelve en el
agua para formar salmuera.
Si el tanque de salmuera est6 Ileno de sal, es dificil deck
si se form6 un puente de sal. La sal est6 floja en la parte
superior, pero el puente est6 debajo de @sta.La siguiente
es la mejor forma de controlar la formaci6n de un puente
de sal.

Empuje la herramienta
sobre el puente de sal
fl mismo.

La sal deber[a estar suelta hasta el fondo del tanque. Tome
un mango de escoba o una herramienta similar, y con
cuidado empuje la misma en la sal, trabajando hacia arriba
y abajo. Si la herramienta golpea un objeto duro (aseg0rese
de que no sea la parte inferior ni los costados del tanque),
es muy probable que sea un puente de sal. Con cuidado
rompa el puente con la herramienta. No golpee las paredes
del tanque. Para ayudar a disolver el puente de sal, vierta
un gal6n de agua tibia (no caliente) en el tanque.
Si el puente se form6 con el tipo de sal inadecuado,
ret[relo. Luego Ilene el tanque con sal en pepitas o bolitas
0nicamente. En 6reas h0medas, es mejor Ilenar el tanque
con menos sal, con mayor frecuencia para evitar la
formaci6n de un puente de sal.
