If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it by adding to the water hardness

number. For example, assume your water is 20 gpg hard and contains 2 ppm iron. Add

5 to the hardness number for each 1 ppm of iron. In this example, you would use 30

for your hardness number.

20 gpg hardness

2 ppm iron X 5 = 10 +10

Salt Type allows you to choose between sodium chloride (NaCl), which is regular softener salt,

or potassium chloride (KCl), which is an alternative to sodium chloride. KCl (potassium chloride)

may be used if the user of the water softener is on a sodium restricted diet and is concerned about

the amount of sodium in the water supply. See “Water Conditioning Information” section.

KCl should be used in accordance to the following steps to help give you years of maintenance

free service.

Place one bag only of KCl in your softener at a time (the salt storage tank should contain no more

than 60 pounds of KCl at any cmc time);

NOTE: A softener using KCl should not be placed in areas with high temperature changes

or high humidity (KCl will harden in these environments and may make the softener

inoperable);
