SANITIZING THE WATER SOFTENER
Care is taken at the factory to keep your water
softener clean and sanitary. Materials used to make
the softener will not infect or contaminate your water
supply, and will not cause bacteria to form or grow.
However, during shipping, storage, installing and
operating, bacteria could get into the softener. For

FILL THE STORAGE TANK WITH SALT
Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each and
every regeneration. The water for making brine is
metered into the salt storage tank by the softener.
However, you must keep the tank filled with salt.
FIG. 3 ADD SALT
Fill the tank with NUGGET or PELLET water softener
salt. DO NOT use rock salts, as they have dirt and
sediments that will stop the softener from working.
Before filling, be sure the brinewell cover is in place
on the top of the brinewell. Salt storage capacity is
shown on page 18.
NOTE:
In humid areas, it is best to fill the storage tank
halfĆfull, and to refill it more often. Salt bridging (see
page 14) occurs more often when conditions are
humid.

Water softening salt with iron removing addiĆ
tives Ċ Some salts have an additive to help the
softener handle iron in the water supply. Although
this additive may help to keep the softener resin
clean, it may also release corrosive fumes that will
weaken and shorten the life of some softener parts.
Sodium Information: Water softeners using sodium
chloride for regeneration add sodium to the water.
Persons who are on sodium restricted diets should
consider the added sodium as part of their overall
sodium intake.
For example, if your water supply is 15 grains hard,
you would have to drink 3 quarts of softened water
to consume 335 milligrams of sodium. That is
equivalent to eating 2Ć1/2 slices of white bread.
Persons who are concerned about their drinking
water should consider a Sears Drinking Water
System that will remove or reduce in excess of 90% of
the sodium and other drinking water contaminants.

FACE PLATE TIMER FEATURES
EXTRA RECHARGE
PROGRAM MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener goes off, the time
display is blank but the face plate timer keeps the
correct time for about 6 hours. When electrical
power comes on again, you have to reset the present
time only if the display is flashing. The HARDNESS
and RECHARGE TIME never require resetting unless
a change is desired.
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (reĆ
charge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples
are:
-- You have used more water than usual (guests
visiting) and you may run out of soft water before the
next timer started regeneration.
Even if the timer is incorrect after a long power
outage, the softener works as it should to keep you
water soft. However, regenerations may occur at the
wrong time of day until you reset the timer to the
correct time of day.
-- You did not refill the softener with salt before it
was gone.
You can start a regeneration right away, or you can
set the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or
other preset recharge time). Do the following.
RECHARGE NOW
ERROR CODE
An error code could appear in the face plate display
if a problem occurs in the softener electronics. If you
see an error code instead of the time of day, please
call you local Sears Service Department for service.
■ Press the ON/OFFĊHOLD
button and hold for 3 seconds.
RECHARGE NOW begins to
flash in the display, and the
softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration right
away. This regeneration will last for about 2
hours. Then, you will have soft water again.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
■ Press and release (do not
hold) the ON/OFFĆHOLD butĆ

SECTION 2
2B. SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION
SERVICE
REGENERATION
When the softener is giving you soft water, it is called
Service". During service, hard water flows through
the house main water pipe and into the softener.
Inside of the softener resin tank is a bed made up of
thousands of tiny, plastic resin beads (FIG. 4). As
hard water passes through the bed, each bead
attracts and holds the hardness minerals. This is
called ionĆexchanging. It is much like a magnet
attracting and holding metals. Water without the
hardness minerals (soft water) flows out of the
softener and into the house soft water pipes.
ꢀFILL: Salt, dissolved in water, is called brine. Brine
is needed to clean the hardness minerals from the
resin beads. To make the brine, water flows into the
salt storage area during the fill stage as shown in FIG.
5. Fill cycle lengthdepends on how muchsoft water
making capacity you have used since the last
regeneration. As you use more water, fill time
increases so more brine is made. The greater
amount of brine cleans more hardness minerals from
the resin bed.
After a period of time, the resin beads become
coated with hardness minerals and they have to be
cleaned. This cleaning is called regeneration or
recharge. Regeneration is started at 2:00 a.m. by the
electronic timer (see page 13). It takes place in 5
stages or cycles. These are:

SOFT WATER SERVICE AND REGENERATION
AUTOMATIC BYPASS
ELECTRONICS
Two main parts of the softener's electronics are ꢀ a
WATER METER, and ꢁ a COMPUTER.
During the brining, brine rinse and backwash cycles
of regeneration, hard water goes through the
softener valve and to the house pipes. If a faucet is
opened, hard water is there for your needs.
However, you should not use HOT water, if possible,
because the water heater will refill with hard water.
The softener regenerates from 2:00 AM to about 4:00
AM, (you can change this time... see page 7). In most
homes, 2-4 AM is a time when not much water is
used, if any.
ꢀ WATER METER Ċ The water meter is in the
softener valve outlet. As water flows through the
meter, it sends electric pulses to the computer. The
computer changes the pulses to a measure in gallons
of water.
ꢁ COMPUTER Ċ The computer is part of the timer
circuit board. It is programmed to know the
softener's capacity (how many grains of hardness
minerals it will take out of the water before a
regeneration is needed). When starting the softener,
page 7, you set it for the grains per gallon (gpg)
hardness of the water.
If you get up early in the morning and you can hear
the softener regenerating, change the time setting.
Set the recharge start time to 12:00 AM or 1:00 AM
(page 7). Then regeneration will start and end that
much earlier and your water heater will not refill with
hard water if a hot faucet is opened.
To find a regeneration pattern best for your needs,
the computer uses: (1) water usage from the meter,
(2) hardness setting, (3) softener capacity, and (4)
time since the last regeneration. The computer
always adjusts this pattern to your water using habits.
It works to provide you with soft water for the
longest time, at the most efficient salt usage.
Softening capacity is used as hard water goes
through the softener and hardness minerals are
removed. When the computer determines that only
enough capacity remains to provide soft water up to
the next regeneration starting time (2:00 AM, or as
otherwise set), it will schedule a regeneration.
RECHARGE TONIGHT displays until the regeneraĆ
tion begins. When the regeneration begins, TOĆ
NIGHT goes off and RECHARGE NOW flashes
during the 2 hour regeneration.

SALT… REFILLING STORAGE TANK/BREAKING A SALT BRIDGE
WHEN TO REFILL WITH SALT: Check the salt level
a few weeks after you install the softener and every
week after that. Refill when the storage tank is
about 1/3 full. Never let the softener use all the salt
before refilling. Without salt, you will soon have hard
water.
IMPORTANT:
You will have a loss in softening capacity and
may get partly hard water if less than 10
inches of salt is in the storage tank.
PLEASE SEE PAGE 9 FOR SALT FILLING DIRECTIONS.
SALT BRIDGE
Sometimes, a hard crust or salt bridge forms in the
FIG. 9 SALT BRIDGE
salt storage tank. It is usually caused by high
humidity or the wrongkind of salt. When the salt
bridges, an empty space forms between the water
and salt. Then salt will not dissolve (melt) in the
water to make brine. Without brine, the resin bed
does not regenerate and you will have hard water.
push tool into salt
bridge to break
1” – 2”
If the storage 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 followingis the best way to check for
a salt bridge.
pencil
mark
Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of the
tank. Hold a broom handle, or like tool, up to the
softener as shown in FIG. 9. Make a pencil mark on
the handle, 1″ or 2″ below the top height of the rim,
as shown. Then, carefully push it straight down into
the salt. If a hard object is felt before the pencil mark
gets to the top of the tank, it's most likely a salt
bridge. Carefully push into the bridge in a few places
to break it. Do not try to break the salt bridge by
pounding on the outside of the salt tank. You
may damage the tank.

KEEPING THE WATER SOFTENER CLEAN
COVERS
NOTE:
To keep your new Sears water softener looking nice,
apply a coat of paste wax and repeat once a year.
When dusty, wipe it with a damp cloth to keep it
sparkling.
Never use cleaners having ammonia or abrasives.
They may scratch and dull the surface.
NOZZLE AND VENTURI
FIG. 10 CLEANING THE NOZZLE & VEN-
TURI
A clean nozzle and venturi (FIG. 10) is a must for the
softener to work right. This small unit moves brine
from the salt storage tank to the resin tank during
regeneration. If it becomes plugged with sand, silt,
dirt, etc., the softener will not work and you will get
hard water.
Cap
O–ring Seal
Screen Support
To get to the nozzle and venturi, remove the softener
top cover. Be sure the softener is in service cycle (no
water pressure at nozzle and venturi). Then, holding
the housing tightly with 1 hand, turn the cap off. Do
not lose the large oĆring seal. Lift out the screen
support and screen, then the nozzle and venturi.

IRON FROM THE RESIN BED
or other equipment is needed. Your local Sears
store has trained people to help you with iron water
problems.
Your water softener takes hardness minerals (calĆ
cium and magnesium) out of the water. Also, it can
control some clear water" iron. See maximum
allowed in the specifications on page 18. 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 softener will
not remove any iron which 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
If your water supply has clear water iron, even
though less than the maximum allowed, regular
resin bed cleaning is needed. Sears has resin bed
cleaner, Stock No. 42Ć34426 for this. Clean the bed at
least every 6 months. If iron appears in the soft water
before 6 months, clean more often. Printed instrucĆ
tions are on the resin bed cleaner bottle.

KEEP THE SOFTENER FROM FREEZING
If the softener is installed where it could freeze
(summer cabin, lake home, etc.), you must drain all
water from it to stop possible freeze damage. To
drain the softener:
FIG. 11 DRAIN WATER FROM THE
SOFTENER
1. Close the shutĆoff valve on the house main water
pipe, near the water meter or pressure tank.
2. Open a faucet in the soft water pipes to vent
pressure in the softener.
3. Ifa single bypass valve is installed, move the
stem into bypass. See FIG. 12 on page 18. In a
3Ćvalve bypass system, close the inlet and outlet
valve and open the bypass valve. Ifyou want
water in the house pipes again, reopen the
shutĆoff valve on the main water pipe.

8. Looking at FIG. 11, lay a piece of2 inch thick
board near the floor drain. Move the softener
close to the drain. Slowly and carefully, tip it
over until the rim rests on the wood block with
the inlet and outlet over the drain. Do not allow
the softener's weight to rest on the inlet and
outlet fittings or they will break.
4. Unplug the transformer at the wall outlet.
5. Remove the salt hole cover and the main cover.
Take off both drain hoses.
6. Carefully remove the large holding clips at the
softener inlet and outlet (see Key No. 61, on page
30). Separate the softener from the adaptors or
bypass valve.
9. Tip the bottom of the softener up a few inches
and hold until all water has drained. Leave the
softener laying like this until you are ready to use
it. Plug the inlet and outlet with rags to keep dirt,
bugs, etc. out.
7. Remove the brinewell cover and disconnect the
brine valve tubing at the nozzle and venturi
assembly (see page 23). Lift the brine valve out of
the brinewell. Tip the brine valve upside down to

TROUBLESHOOTING
The chart below shows the error codes that could
appear, and the possible defects for each code.
AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS
The face plate computer has a selfĆdiagnostic
function for the electrical system (except input
power and water meter). The computer monitors the
electronic components and circuits
for correct operation. If a malfuncĆ
tion occurs, an error code appears
in the face plate display.
While an error code appears in the display, all face
plate buttons are inoperable except the SELECT
button. The SELECT button remains operational so
the service person can make the Manual Initiated
Electronic Diagnostics to further isolate the defect,
and check the water meter.

switch is closed. If the dash shows, the switch is
open.
If you don't get a reading in the display, with the
faucet open, pull the sensor from the valve outlet
port. Pass a small magnet back and forth in front of
the sensor. You should get a reading in the display. If
you get areading, unhook the in and out plumbing

drops to open the motor circuit, when the valve reaches FILL position. As the rotor and disc
rotates, the port opens for SOFT water fill through the venturi. Fill flow continues to the
brine valve, and into the salt storage tank. Soft water is still available to the house lines.

draws brine from the salt storage tankand injects it into the resin bed via the bottom
distributor. Flow continues out the top distributor and to the drain. Hard water is available
at the valve outlet.
When the brine valve closes to end brine draw, water flow continues in the same
directions to slowly RINSE brine from the resin bed and to the drain.
