Press the “REGEN” button to advance the control valve to the “BACKWASH” cycle. be shown in the lower middle of the display and “REGEN” appears in the middle left of the display. First time through this step: Unplug the transformer from the electrical outlet to keep the softener from advancing to the next cycle.

What type of salt should I use in my water softener? Salt should read 99% pure and should be either pellet, nugget, crystals, or solar salt.

The resin will react with Calcium and Magnesium, the hardness minerals, by equally exchanging them for Sodium. When the water reaches the bottom of the tank, it is distributed up through a tube in the center of the tank into the Control Valve and through the outlet port as softened water.

No, fitting a domestic water softener will not affect your water pH balance. Softened water is not corrosive. When water is softened by a domestic, base-exchange water softener, the only chemical changes are replacement of calcium (and other multivalent cations such as magnesium) by sodium.

Marlo Water Softener Instructions

1. Fill the brine tank with water until the water level reaches 2 inches above the salt platform.
2. Close the inlet and outlet valves.
3. Open the manual bypass valve, leaving the manual inlet and outlet valves closed.
4. Plug in the valve.

Soft water, which is more acidic, has low levels of minerals, however will contain higher levels of sodium. This will result in a lower mineral content for drinking water, however will be safer and smoother for your skin and hair.

Naturally soft water is very corrosive. It is corrosive because it has a low pH and low TDS. Cation-exchange softening does not lower the pH (might slightly raise it, making water less corrosive) and does not lower the TDS.
