Waterco Commandomatic Ezysoft Manual For Use And Installation - 9. Parts Replacement
8.3. ADDING SALT
Be sure to use Commandomatic salt (approximately 1/4” pellets), as it is specially selected large
granule salt, graded for maximum efficiency and packed in 25kg moisture proof bags. This will
prevent “bridging”, as would occur if fine salt were used. Your brine tank holds 50kg – or 2 bags of
salt. When salt level drops to approx. half the depth of the brine tank, add another bag of salt.
The water softener needs ‘brine’ for its periodic regenerations. This brine solution is made from
water that is automatically dosed in the brine cabinet by the control valve, and water conditioner salt.
The user should make sure that the brine cabinet is always kept full of water conditioner salt.
Therefore he should periodically check the salt level inside the brine cabinet and refill it if necessary.
To open the salt lid, simply take it by the handle and lift it. The salt lid can be removed completely
to facilitate refilling.
8.4. BRINE CABINET
To retain the appearance of the water softener, simply wipe it with a damp cloth or clean it with a mild
soap solution; never use abrasive cleaners, ammonia or solvents.
9. PARTS REPLACEMENT
!!! BEFORE SERVICING:
• Make Sure The Control Valve Is In Service Position
• Bypass Or Disconnect The Water Supply
• Relief The Water Pressure
9.1. TIMER HEAD ASSEMBLY
I. Remove the drain hose from the drain line fitting.
II. Remove the 4 timer head screws and pull away the timer head assembly.
III. Reverse the procedure for reassembly; make sure the drain port O-ring is securely installed
in the valve body groove.
Figure 8 Adding Salt
Ideally the level of water conditioner salt inside the brine
cabinet is kept between 1/3 and 2/3. A lower level of water
conditioner salt can cause insufficient brine saturation,
resulting in a loss of softening capacity. A higher level of
water conditioner salt can cause salt bridging (hard crust
or salt bridges in the brine cabinet). When you suspect
salt bridging:
I. Carefully pound on the outside of the brine
cabinet to break loose the salt bridges;
II. Using a broom (or like blunt tool) carefully push
the salt to break it apart;
III. Pour warm water over the top of the salt to
dissolve it.
