Plug in unit. Sanitizing Procedure A water softener in daily use on a potable water supply generally requires no special attention other than keeping the salt tank filled. Occasionally, however, a unit may require sanitization under one of the following conditions: · · · At start-up time. On private supplies, the appearance of off-tastes and odors, particularly if musty or "rotten egg" (caused by harmless sulfatereducing bacteria). Note: If the water supply contains iron, regenerate the softener before sanitizing to remove iron from the resin. Chlorine bleach and common iron control chemicals may generate toxic fumes when mixed. · If the unit uses culligan Sofner-Gard® or other compounds containing sodium hydrosulfite, sodium bisulfite, or any other reducing agent, disconnect the device feeding the chemical(s) and manually regenerate the unit before sanitizing. Do not use this procedure if the softener salt contains iron control additives. · 14 Culligan Soft-Minder Twin® Softeners 1. Pour directly into the brine chamber 1/3 - 1/2 cup of common household bleach (5. 25% sodium hypochlorite) for each cubic foot of resin in the tank. Do not use lemon scented bleaches, or similar bleaches that contain perfumes. Allow the unit to complete the recharge cycle automatically. If tastes and odors return frequently, even after sanitization, a continuous chlorination system may be needed. Send a water sample to a qualified laboratory for bacterial analysis. Analyzing the System Analyzing the problem involves three basic steps: 1. If steps 1-3 did not reveal the problem, initiate a regeneration cycle and manually cycle the valve to brine draw (#2 position).
