Getting Maximum Efficiency From the Appliance
To achieve the maximum benefit and performance
from this appliance, familiarize yourself with this
manual and the appliance.
1.
The salt level should always be at least 1/3 full.
Refill the salt when the level drops below the
water level in the brine cabinet. A resin cleaner
can be used on a monthly basis. Clean white
pellet, cube-style, or solar salt is
recommended. Do not use rock salt.
Caution: Do not mix different types of salt.
2.
You may use a salt substitute (such as
potassium chloride) in place of water
conditioner salt. A Hague dealer should be
contacted before a switch is made to a salt
substitute. If potassium chloride is used in
place of salt, the technician must select the
potassium option during the programming of
the controller. See Service Settings.
Caution: Do not use potassium chloride if there
is iron and/or manganese in the water.
3.
Should your electricity be off for any reason,
check your controller for the correct time and
reset as necessary. See Customer Settings.
4.
Program the appliance to regenerate at a time
when the water is not being used. If there is
more than one appliance, allow two hours
between each regeneration.
5.
If dirt, sand, or large particles are present in the
water supply, the appropriate Hague filter can
eliminate this problem. See Filter
Specifications.
6.
The appliance may be disinfected with 5.25%
sodium hypochlorite, which is the active
ingredient in household chlorine bleach. To
disinfect the appliance, add 4.0 fluid ounces
(120 mL) of chlorine bleach solution to the brine
well of the brine tank. The brine tank should
have water in it. Start a manual regeneration.
7.
Protect the appliance, including the drain line,
from freezing.
8.
The bypass valve (attached to the main control
valve) enables you to bypass the appliance if
any work is being performed on the appliance,
well pump, or plumbing. See Bypass Valve.
Use Bypass mode also for watering plants or
lawns with untreated water. To bypass, turn the
blue knob counterclockwise until it hits the stop;
turn it clockwise to restore service.
9.
Before putting the appliance back in service
after work has been performed, turn on the
nearest cold water tap until water runs clear.
10.
Adhere to all operational, maintenance, and
placement requirements.
11.
Inspect and clean the brine tank and
air check/draw tube assembly annually or when
sediment is present in the brine tank.
12.
Potassium permanganate will need to be added
periodically to any iron filter.
13.
These appliances are certified for barium and
radium 226/228 reduction according to
NSF/ANSI Standard 44. Any bypass system
must be completely in the Service position to
ensure maximum barium and radium 226/228
reduction.
