RainSoft CENTURION Owner's Manual - A Note to The Homeowner
A note to the homeowner
Your Centurion system will improve the properties of water throughout
your home. Here are some things to expect and some recommendations
for maximizing the benefits and your enjoyment of RainSoft Centurion.
Sinks and fixtures - should have little or no
spotting. If water is allowed to evaporate off a
surface, small spots may be left behind. This
spotting should not require any more than a wet
cloth or sponge to remove. No harsh chemical
should be required as with typical hard water
spotting.
Dishwasher-Spotting on dishes and on the
surface of the dishwasher should be greatly
reduced or eliminated. We recommend that
you immediately reduce the amount of dish-
washing detergent by approximately 50% as
compared to hard water use. Dishwashing deter-
gents low in phosphates are highly recom-
mended as they are better for the environment
and phosphates can cause spotting. In very hard
water areas, the use of a rinse aid may be
advised.
Shower doors and tiles- should have little or
no spotting. When water evaporates off a
surface, small spots may be left behind. These
spots should be easy to remove with a damp
cloth or sponge.
In the bath you should notice that soaps and
shampoos lather more than with un-treated
water. Soaps and shampoos will also rinse off
much easier and faster than they would with
traditional soft water. We recommend the use of
modern soaps for the best results.
Things to watch for:
During the first 30-90 days:
• Faucet aerators and drains may plug occasionally as old scale is
removed from your plumbing system and water heater.
• You may also see milky water while the descaling is taking place. This
is simply an increase in the calcium in the water because RainSoft
Centurion is removing old scale deposits from your pipes.
Good practices:
• If your dishwasher is severely coated with scale at the time of installa-
tion, we recommend that you purchase a product like Jet-Dry
Dishwasher cleaner to accelerate the cleaning. After this initial
cleaning RainSoft Centurion should keep it clean.
• We also recommend that you drain your water heater tank. This should
be done 30 to 60 days after RainSoft Centurion is installed, and again
in one year. This is a good practice that can dramatically increase the
life of your water heating appliance. The RainSoft Centurion will help
keep the tank and heating elements free of scale and operating at peak
efficiency. Please follow the manufacturers instructions when draining
the tank!
